RJT>I finally got that scanner working again,  having resolve the software issues
RJT>that were a problem here.

RJT>The issue I'm looking at now is that the stuff it's scanning doesn't look
RJT>right.  If I select line art,  or grayscale,  it's fine.  If I try and scale a
RJT>color image,  it seems to be lacking,  particularly red,  orange,  and yellow
RJT>colors...

RJT>What goes wrong with these things?  Any of you guys ever been into them?

RJT>I notice over where the carriage (?) in there sits,  where the light bulb is, 
RJT>it's getting kinda warm.  That normal?  What kind of a light bulb is that in
RJT>there anyhow?  Easy to find a replacement if I need one?

The flat bed scanners I have been into use a fluorescent bulb which is a
specific color temperature. I bought replacements at a lamp supply house
nearby.
