ah, interesting ;) didn't know that so far...
does it work correctly with the latest CVS version?

How did you grab that - scanimage? 
The defaults for the backend are far smaller than A4.

The devices' maximum scanarea definition could be found in
plustek-usbdevs.c - 
watch out for LiDE30 comments. The default scanarea

Thanks, I can find the entires you mention. Is there any
information available on how to use these files to recompile
the backend, I'm approaching this from a real newbie
standpoint.
