guys, you convinced me and I raise priority to medium.
i was setting priorities according to my personal, possibly inaccurate, "how bad do I feel shipping a program with this problem"-rule.

however, please remember, that nobody is paid to work through the lists from top to bottom.
the best way to get a problem fixed is to actively collaborate, and do things yourself and/or answer questions quickly and precisely. in this regard i am positive that this a bug report where a solution will be found.

for one, we have to wait for Robert to comment.
additionally you might try to acquire a scan at a different resolution via scanimage. if this works, we should make simple-scan do it the same way, if it does not, you should contact the backend developers via the sane-devel mailing list.

DemoFreak, could you paste for future reference a list of supported
resolutions as listed by the manufacturer/simple-scan/scanimage simliar
to the list form 2cv67?

Title:
  Resolution control not working

Status in Simple Scan:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Details in my Ubuntu Forum thread: 
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1648771
  Quote:
  "Firstly - congratulations for Simple Scan, which lives up to its name admirably!
  Xsane is no doubt wonderfully competent, but far too complicated for casual use.
  But I am having a problem with Simple Scan, in that I can't seem to get selected resolutions to have any effect.
  A typical A4 mainly-text document I am playing with, ends up as:
  165K when scanned & saved as text pdf at 75/150/300 or 600dpi...
  1.5MB when scanned & saved as text jpg at 75-600dpi
  2.2MB when scanned & saved as photo pdf or jpg at 75-600dpi.
  My Epson V200 scanner allows normal resolution selection with Xsane or with Epson's iscan application.
  Thanks for any suggestions!" - unquote.

  I started that thread in December 2010 & still have the same problem today.
  As a summary - the resolution control has absolutely no effect on the results.
  No error messages (unless I try 2400dpi) & nothing in simple-scan --debug >simple-scan.log
  I now have Simple Scan 2.32.0.1-0Ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 11.04.
  The scanner is an Epson Perfection V200 Photo & has normal resolution selection in XSane & Iscan.
  Thanks!
