Jon....You need to install /usr/bin/xscanimage as a gimp
plug-in by creating a symlink called xscanimage to
/usr/bin/xscanimage in ~/.gimp-1.1/plug-ins. After that a
new item called 'acquire image' will appear on the 'Xtns'
drop-down-menu. Then the 'acquire image' menu choice in gimp
will access your scanner with the xscanimage program.
