Hi all

I already changed /dev/scanner to /dev/pass0 so this was not the 
problem, I did all scanning as root so the problem couldn't be there either.

I replaced the canon parts in sane/backend with the one you sent me and 
wow, it all of the suddenly worked.

One strange thing, when I start xscanimage the default is set to slides.
Slides is what I am scanning so I do not tough anything and push scan 
(340 dpi)
The scan worked but he was using the colors of negatives.

I then changed it to negatives, scanned on 2720 dpi and all worked well, 
when I then wanted to scan an slide and changed it back to slides the 
colors are OK ????

speed seemed ok (but I've never used windows so I have no way off 
comparing).

Just one last thing, with my first scan I forget to insert a slide.
I then had to kill the app because it seemed to me that nothing happend. 
The scanner refused to scan untill I rebooted (this was in terminal with 
scanimage so you can't push cancel)

Thanks a bunch

Bram
