However, if you got yours to work with some configurations that sounds like something I would like to try. I did change the name of my scanner in the conf. file but how and where do you put the absolute path the the binary that came with the scanner. I am not sure what you mean here as far as the binary that came with the scanner. Could you explain all of this in detail. I am quite the newbie with things like this. Thanks alot for your help. Sincerely, Marcia
