Have you really cranked xsane's scanning resolution up to 1200 DPI? For miscellaneous scanning of text documents and receipts I usually use < 300 dpi. I'd be shocked if 1200 didn't give crystal clear scans of even the tiniest text. xsane does not scan at the highest resolution by default, it just picks something sane like 150 or 300. mh -- Martin Hicks || mort [ at ] bork [ dot ] org || PGP/GnuPG: 0x4C7F2BEE
