No fooling around getting drivers, etc. I have been running Gimp on different versions of Linux. That might be why I did not have too fool around hunting down and installing drivers. On 2.6.8, (Ubuntu 10.04)I can scan: File - Create - XSane - Device dialog On earlier Gimp versions it was: File - Acquire - XSane - Device dialog It might be a matter of semantics as to whether or not Gimp does the scanning, but I have always been able to start a scan w/SCSI from Gimps File Menu.
