[sane-devel] Canon N656U poor image quality

[Santiago del Roi]

Just got Mandrake 9.1 which includes support for my Canon N656U scanner
(sane v.1.0.11)  This is the first time I've had this scanner working at
all in Linux.  Initial tests have revealed very poor image quality,
however.  Virtical streaks appear through the image which are not on the
original.  Ive tried this at several standard and non-standard resolutions
with similar results in each test.  Below is a URL to one of my test scans
done at 150DPI

Please advise.  I'm quite open to the possibility that I'm just doing
something wrong, as this is my first experience with Sane.  The above
image was scanned with all the settings as default (except resolution).
