    Thanks Mike, that's interesting, my Xsane ver 0.999 doesn't provide
    the same functionality. Where your gui has the resolution dropdown
    to let you select between the supported resolutions, my gui has two
    entries, a horizontal resolution and a vertical resolution, and both
    of them are disabled, so that the only way to change it is to
    manually changed the corresponding two lines in the configuration
    file. I'm now wondering whether the Epson driver is having an
    impact, as in order to see and use the Epson scanner xsane seems to
    be using the settings I put in the config file created by the
    install of Epson's imagescan software.

    Are you able to supply the config file, or the resolution part of
    the config file, for your scanner, which if it is stored in the same
    location as it is for me, is in ~/.sane/xsane? I just wanted to see
    how it is set up for you and whether or not I can replicate that in
    my configuration.

    
    regards,

    Steve

        Hi, 

              Having installed imagescan from Epson, and installed sane
          and xsane, and edited the imagescan config file to specify the
          network settings of my printer all-in-one, I now have xsane
          finding my scanner, but this has highlighted a problem. 

              Having run xsane it has created Epson:ET-3700.drc in path
          ~/.sane/xsane, which contains all the options used by xsane
          for scanning. Two of the options are for the horizontal and
          vertical scan resolution, which by default are set to 75.
          These options are reflected in the xsane gui, but they are
          disabled so I can't alter them from the gui, I have to edit
          the config file and specify the resolution I want in there. 

              Where can I find documentation on the format of that xsane
          config file, that would tell me how I get the list of
          resolutions the scanner supports into that config file so that
          they are selectable by a dropdown in the xsane gui? 

          
          regards, 

          Steve
