I don't think that there is a special FreeBSD version of SANE. Usually they have some ptaches to fit sane into the packages system and fix BSD-related bugs, but that's all. > so it must be known > what language this printer speaks.

Any info is appreciated What's the problem with the kernel module? Doe it print messages in syslog when you plug-in your scanner? You can set the vendor and device ids manually (insert appropriate numbers): modprobe scanner vendor=0x1234 product=0x2345 I don't know, if the scanner itsself is supported by SANE. Bye, Henning
