Hello,
regarding the darkness problem you have, I'm rather inclined to look why
calibration work as good as it works with my LiDE 100. There is a persistent
cache for calibration. You may clear it with the --clear-calibration option,
which is available in the advanced panel option in Xsane. Does clearing it and
scanning again changes something ?
Regarding buttons, these options are read-only and thus cannot be set as
a command line option. If you want to check the button status, you should
avoid using scripts, it would initialize the scanner each time, which may be
so long you'll miss button events. You'd rather use scanbuttond.
Regards,
Stef
