What model scanner? I have an Epson V600 Photo scanner and it required special drivers from Epson. It took a little hackery to get the binary blobs to recognise. (Symlinks to differening .so versions for libraries.) Once I did that XSane would just see the scanner. Xsane looks for available scanners on load. Check the scanner manufacturer site for drivers. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
