    It's an mechanical issue that depends on the slide frames used and the way
    you feed them into the scanner. If you have trouble with SANE but
    not with Windows then this is pure coincidence.

    Btw, if you have to push during the scan then something is wrong
    (check the rubber wheels and make sure your slide frames are not
    too thick).

    This is strange indeed, it happens to me too sometimes.
