I had a similar problem with my Agfa Snapscan e25 (it's a USB, not a SCSI scanner, though). Just like you've experienced, my scanner worked fine in 8.2 but it wasn't recognized at all in 9.0. I solved the problem this way: I removed all the sane/xsane related packages that were provided with MDK 9.0 and downloaded the sane (both backend and frontend) sources from ftp.mostang.com (I also d/loaded the xsane sources to replace those MDK-specific removed earlier). I also downloaded the specific "snapscan" files from the snapscan sourceforge project site and recompiled the sane backend sources "patched" with these scanner specific files. Needless to say now it works just fine. Probably there are similar files for Canon scanners too, you should search Google or Sourceforge for Canon Scanners and SANE. BTW, it's a mistery why one device was previously supported by 8.2 and now isn't supported anymore by 9.0. Maybe the MDK developers forgot something rushing to release MDK 9.0 a few days earlier than R**H** 8.0! ;-) -- Piero Piutti ----------- Ticket to Ride - The Unofficial Ride Website: http://www.mareasub.it/ride Message mailed with: KMail 1.4.3 ~ KDE 3.0.3 ~ Mandrake Linux 9.0
