only negative output with scanimage (Canon Canoscan 300)

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the list. I checked the archive and did not seem to find any answer
to my problem, so here it is :

My scanner is a Canon Canoscan 300 (scanimage -L says it is a CANON IX-03035B
flatbed scanner). When I run scanimage --mode <any mode>, I always get a
negative image of the scanned image. I tried the options --negative Slides and
--negative=no, but for both of them, scanimage says :

"scanimage: attempted to set inactive option negative"

With xscanimage, I do not get this problem : I can
uncheck the "negative" option, and then the result of the scanning is no more
negative.

I run sane-1.0.1. I used to run sane-0.74 before and did not meet this problem :
I ran scanimage with only the device and resolution options, and everything
worked fine. So what is wrong now ?

I need to use scanimage and not xscanimage since I use it in a script that
sends fax.
If anyone can help me, I will be very grateful.

Cheers,

Denis
