Re: Mustek 600 IIN color question

Hello,

[color problem with mustek 600 II N]

There are (at least) two firmware versions. The backend seems to work
with one of these, the other shows the behaviour mentioned in your
mail. I have written a small patch a long time ago but it wasn't build
into sane because it could break the backend for users of the other
firmware version. The patch doesn't fix the problem totally but the
images are usable (for me). There remain some stripes after the end of
the scanned image. Perhaps I can fix this some time but don't count on
this.

You must use the source (tar.gz), I don't have experience with the
source rpms. Deinstall your existing sane and download the sane source
code (e..g from http://www.mostang.com/sane/). Unpack the tar file in
some directory (e.g. /usr/src/). Cd to the sane directory
(/usr/src/sane-1.0.1) and patch the source code
(patch -p1 <patchfile). The patchfile is attached to this mail. Read the
documentation for compiling and installation and install sane. Don't
use line-distance-fix as the scanner reports its line-distance
correctly.

Feel free to ask again if you get stuck.

Ciao, Henning
