[sane-devel] xsane preview problem

[Dale Braden]

I am using xsane v0.97 together with the snapscan backend (from 
sane-backends v1.0.15) to drive an Epson 2580 Photo scanner.  I'm 
scanning old black and white photographs.  Scanning works fine, but the 
preview does not.  When I click the "Acquire Preview" in the xsane 
Preview window, only streaks of black and white lines show up.  I don't 
actually see anything like the image I'm trying to scan.  I hear the 
scanner's motor run, but I notice that the light source does not move as 
it would during a regular scan.  I don't know how to tell the scanner to 
do a "preview" without using xsane, so I can't determine whether the 
problem is with the scanner driver or with xsane.  Anybody know what the 
problem is?
