The current code of scanner.c already contains a generic way to use control messages. At least it looks like that, I haven't tested it. This code is in Linux 2.4.13. I have already added a point to the TODO list to add a function sanei_usb_write_control (or similar). Please send a patch for sanei_usb.c (and .h). We can commit it to CVS after the release of SANE 1.0.6. Bye, Henning
