question: sane(xsane) & umax astra 2100u scanner

[pulsar.star]

Greetings.

I'm owner for now already a very old scanner umax astra 2100u.
I've already tried to use that device on linux some year ago, and have tried it now too in some hope something may changed.
But as i see the results, it didn't, look at the attachment. always the same result.
So, my question is, if there is any hope to fix this issue? Or rather to get rid of that device?

Because as it's mentioned to this 2100u model on "SANE - Supported Scanners" page, the STATUS should be GOOD, which by the legend means: "Status: # good means the device is usable for day-to-day work. Some rather exotic features may be missing."

my scanner:
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=&model=2100u&bus=any&v=&p=
&
http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-umax1220u.5.html

And if possible, i would be glad to fix this.
Thanks in advance for any answer.
Daniel

this backend is marked as unmaintained. so purchasing a more recent
machine might be your best bet. but first, i would try it on windows
and make sure it is not a hardware problem.
