Well, it seems that I made some progress. After installing the
gtk+-devel package suggested by Henning I repeated all the steps with
sane-1.0.3 and the the latest snapscan-backend - and it now works in
part.
The scanning results in geyscale and color are fine. Unfortunately, I
still can't scan A4 pages in color at 200 and 300 dpi. xscanimage hangs.
Is there a parameter I still have to correct?
Best regards
Timo
