scanning documents

[norman]

I have recently changed from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 and I have noticed
something strange. I have always used XSane for scanning and sending the
images to the printer and, with 8.04, there was very little delay
between the completion of the scan and the start up of the printer.
However, with 8.10 there is a very noticeable lag between end of scan
and start up of printer and this delay seems longer the more copies that
are needed of the scanned image. Also, there is a noticeable delay
between copies when several are required.

I have tried to find out what could be the cause but, so far, I have not
been successful. Could some kind person kick off the new year with some
useful help, please.
