Re: Strange quality using hpaio sane backend with a C4180

@Dirk:
Thanks, I'll check out Median filters to see how they work out.

@All:
Meanwhile, I've did some post-processing tests in GIMP and found out
that a sequence of "Despeckle" and "Blur" work wonders!

Since this might be an issue for more than just the C4180 scanners, I
will post my results on the web - and maybe be able to provide some
script for automatically running scans through the GIMP for
post-processing. What do you think?

Although I totally agree to keep the post-procesing and the scanning
backend separate, I  still think that a lot of users would be happy with
a "ready to use" image immediately after scanning.    : )

Yours,
Pb
