When I do scanimage --list-devices it does not find my scanner but when I do sane-find-scanner it finds the scanner. WTF? Go figure, I haven't a clue. I really like Gentoo a lot, much better than Mandrake 9.1 but at least Mandrake set up my scanner. You know, I really don't use my scanner that much but it bugs that I can't get it to work. :-) Thanks for the advice. I'll keep trying.
