Now I'm puzzled, Per. The epson kowa backend and the plustek backend very happily co-exist here. When I start xsane, I get a choice menu after it does the device scan that lists the available backends I can use. Just click on/hilight the choice for this session and click on ok. -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.21% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
