Not a matter of semantics but fact. Gimp *can* interface with other programs to provide an interface for other functions, scanning. But you have provided your *own* hint to the solution. Doesn't "XSane" in your examples give you a clue? Install xsane in your present distro and use the distro's setup application to setup your scanner. Your lack of scanning ability probably stems from using a "LiveCD" which is space crippled/doesn't include xsane. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
