Before reporting, you might want to try the command line scanner tool
scanimage:
scanimage --format=tiff --reslution=300 > scan.tiff
and see what happens. That should help you understand if the issue is
with sane-backends or elsewhere.
The -L and -T options will be usefull too.
You may also want to try the new 1.0.20 release as that fixes quite a
few bugs. There is a feature request for it, but compiling it yourself
is not that hard if you first do a rpm rebuild on the old rpm package so
it pulls in required dependencies
Use the following script to run configure:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
arch=`uname -m`
case $arch in
x86_64)
lib=/usr/lib64
;;
*)
lib=/usr/lib
esac
echo "lib =" $lib
make distclean
BACKENDS="pixma niash" ./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--libdir=$lib \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-gphoto2=/usr \
--with-docdir=/usr/doc/sane-1.1.0
