Description of problem: When I do a scan to preview the contents of the scan area using xsane, the program *always* freezes at approximately 1" from the top of the scan preview area. My scanner is an hp scanjet 5300c with a usb connection. I have noticed inconsistencies with the 'readiness' of the scanner as well. Doing a hard reboot seems to reset the scanner into a working state again in this case. As a result I suspect a problem in the scanner kernel module rather than in xsane. However, this may be related to the fact that I have to kill the program and it cannot reset the scanner to a proper state as a result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xsane 0.89-3 sane-backends 1.09-5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This doesn't seem to be a particularly well-supported scanner, from a quick search.
