At first the result was a message saying "missing sane-backends" so I fired up the package manager and installed "sane-backends", which at the same time removed "sane" (I figure the system knows what it's doing). After that this command worked fine and /tmp/database was filled with a driver database. Also, the Scanner section of YaST no longer complains, but it does now display two scanners; one driver: "not configured" HP PSC2350 series and one driver: "hpaio" Hewlet Packard PSC_2350_series. Testing the hpaio scanner works, attempting to delete (or test) the not configured scanner doesn't work and GIMP still does not work when I do File->Acquire->xscanimage->Device Dialog... xscanimage from the command line as root works like a charm, but from user level it complains that no scanners were identified. --Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
