[sane-devel] Xerox Travel Scanner 100 could not be detected

[Jack McGill]

Andrey,
Do the following:
    $export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255
    $export SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS_GL841=255
    $scanimage -d genesys --resolution 100 --mode Color >xeroxTS100-100dpi-
scan.pnm 2> xeroxTS100.log

attach the image and log to an email back to the list.

Hopefully, Stef will be able to look at these and have some suggestions.
