Just a quick follow up. As I mentioned before using the Mandrake scannerdrake / XSane / xscanimage my Agfa SnapScan 1212U doesn't work at all. The same device not found message is produced regardless of whether the scanner is attached or not !
Today I uninstalled all the Mandrake SANE stuff (except sane-gimp), downloaded the latest SANE frontend and backend source as well as the patches required for the USB SnapScans (can be found at http://snapscan.sourceforge.net/), compiled, installed etc. etc.. Now the scanner works just fine. This confirms that there is nothing wrong with any of the hardware and that this scanner is (almost fully) supported under Linux, but unfortunately not Mandrake ;-) Hope this helps, Owen On Friday 07 Dec 2001 5:08 pm, you wrote: > On 12 Nov 2001 16:56:27 +0100 > > Yves Duret <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just made an heavy update to scannerdrake and ScannerDB thanks to > > yours > > > contributions following my call some weeks ago.
