But, the experience is not seamless. Encouraged by the news of the
'scanbuttond' thing I started one scanning job that was pending for some
time. And within say fifteen or sixteen scans I had to restart the
'scanbuttond' and 'xsane' three or four times. After one or two
'preview' or three or four scans, the output is getting blank. I don't
know if you will tag it 'working' at all.
