Bug Description

Binary package hint: libsane

Using XSane with the Epson or epson2 backend from libsane it is no longer possible to select 150 as the DPI setting in XSane's drop down list. This worked in 10.04 but is now missing in 10.10.

I was able to verify that this should be possible by editing the package sane-backends by apt-getting the source.

It's sane-backends-1.0.21
ADD LINE: sane-backends-1.0.21/backend/epson2-ops.c:205: e2_add_resolution(dev, 150);

This forces 150 DPI as an option which works. The scanner without this option allows 300DPI which makes images to large for emailing and 100DPI which are very grainy. I'm not sure how to properly get the 150 option as I couldn't figure out if the Scanner is reporting that it can't do 150 or if it's a conf setting somewhere.

Thanks,

Félim
