Kooka returns black images (xsane has no problem)

Timothee

Hi there,

I'm using a USB scanner HP5470c. It took some work to get it running but now I'm all set. If I use xsane, I can scan beautifully consistently.

Since my desktop is KDE, I would prefer to use Kooka. The problem I have is that Kooka returns black images almost all the time. I have successfully managed to get actual scans only once!

Is this a known problem with Kooka? What can I do to fix it?

Thanks,
Tim.

Which driver did you use for this scanner?

Yep, I tried that but unfortunately my scanner is not supported by hptoolbox.

In any case, I don't think this is a driver problem since I can scan perfectly well with xsane. It seems this is more of a Kooka issue :/.
