That's a USB scanner. > I have downloaded sane-backends-1.0.9 and sane-frontends-1.0.9, plus > plustek-sane-0_44_10. I don't think you need an updated Plustek backend for that scanner.

I think the plustek backend must go into the same directory as the sane distribution (/usr/local/sane-backends-1.0.9). But as I said, I don't think you'll need it. > Then, in /usr/local/sane-backend: configure, make, make install. Ok, so sane-1.0.9 should be installed correctly.

Well, maybe you don't have a Plustek parport scanner connected :-) Just go ahead. Check if you scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner. If it isn't, the kernel scanner driver probably hasn't detected it correctly. If it has, try scanimage -L. if that doesn't work, edit plustek.conf and check that "device /dev/usbscanner" point to the correct device (printed by sane-find-scanner). Bye, Henning
