Scanning with xsane

[David Fletcher]

Can somebody try this if possible please?

I just collected an Epson Perfection 1260 from FreeCycle for a friend.
To check it out I plugged it into my netbook running 64 bit 12.04. The
scanner works, but when I reduce the brightness control to -3 (or any
value <0?) the colour is fouled up.

Doing the same thing with the scanner on my old laptop running 32 bit
Maverick it works just fine.

I'd be grateful if anybody could confirm this.
