Hello,

Thanks a lot for sane-1.0.10-pre3, and for the plustek driver (I'm using 
plustek-sane-0.45-3). With those my USB CanoScan Lide 30 works perfectly.

Two questions:
* why isn't plustek-sane part of sane? Wouldn't this make things much easier 
for all owners of a canon (and other) scanner?
* the only bug I'm seeing is that if I scan in a random resolution, say 400 
DPI, (as allowed by xsane with its resolution slider), then half of the 
scanned image will be covered by black lines. It works fine in 300 DPI, (but 
the unaware user will have a hard time figuring out the right resolution 
value to use, since there's a step of 1 in xsane :))

(I think it's also time to close down the ucanoscan project on sourceforge,
if anyone of that project is listening - it's very confusing to first find 
this stuff, which is in very alpha state, to only later find out that the 
plustek driver handles Canon scanners just fine... But well if becomes part 
of sane out of the box, then people won't have to worry about that.)
