    A little more...

    When scanning (after rebooting), the color option doesn't transfer the image. I does
    scan, but no actual data transfer takes place. This _does_ work under grayscale and
    line art. I also tried several resolutions. The progress bar in the small window doesn't
    even appear when colour is selected.

    Another question... Should the preview be in color or in b/w (it's b/w here)
