OK, I did this (even though I'm not using code from cvs) and IT WORKS. Of course, I presume this means I can't print from the same port, since I can't use ppdev. More info that may be useful: motherboard is DFI ECM33-EC. I ended up buying an 'ieee 1284 compatible high speed cable', though that is not the difference that made the difference.

Gues it's time to get xsane working in /usr/local... Thanx for the help. I'll let you know if I find out anything else about the ppdev mode stuff. - Bob Niederman
