I installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 on my computer and can't get SANE to recognize the UMAX Astra 3400 scanner attached to the USB port. Here's what I know:

etc/sysconfig/hwconf shows a "UMAX USB SCANNER" attached to the USB port, of "OTHER" class and "unknown" driver.

The file "/usr/share/hwdata/usb.ids" did not include the UMAX 3400, although other UMAX scanners were there. So I modified it. It is now included.

The file "/usr/share/doc/sane-backends-1.0.8/sane-plustek.man" clearly states that the Plustek driver will work with the UMAX 3400 scanner.

"sane-find-scanner" returns an information message, but does not identify the scanner.

/dev/usb/scanner0 exists (ls) but "more" returns a "no such device"

How do I get SANE (which apparently stands for Scanner Access NOT Easy) to realize that there really is a scanner attached to the USB port and that it needs to run the Plustek driver to communicate? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Rich Teitel, newbie
