Thank you, Martin, for your words of wisdom, which I have carefully noted. I've given up on the desktop 'Scanner' icon - as no-one seems able to provide a solution to the 'gamma-table' problem - and am pursuing XSane. I'll see how I get on with that. An idle thought: "As I'm an unashamed, lazy 'icon-clicker' - rather than a 'command-line-freak' [!!!], when I do get XSane working (which I am confident I shall), it would be nice if I could 'convert' the 'Scanner' icon on my desktop to an 'XSane' icon - then I can call up XSane more easily - rather than having to go thru the tedious business of raising a shell, then typing a command". I know that this is absolute heresy to the Linux community, and I shall be abused - if not 'drummed-out [!!!] Is this possible? Any ideas? Thanks again. Best Fred
