    Thanks for the info. It appears that IScan does not yet support this
    particular all-in-one. I did however, revert back to the version of
    Gimp (1.2.3-360) that is packaged with 8.2 Pro. Now everything works
    flawlessly. Excellent scan and print results. :-)
    With results this good, I can wait until Xsane catches up to Gimp before
    I upgrade.

    Thanks,
    Darrell Cormier
