Yes. This means that SANE 1.0.9 wasn't properly installed (or the test backend wasn't installed for some reason). Try "scanimage --version". If either version isn't 1.0.9, something went wrong during install. You can also check with SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 scanimage -L if the libraries (test in this case) are loaded correctly. > I should add that I added the tevion9693usb backend from > http://www.angelfire.com/linux/crapsite/, which is alpha, but I acted > precisely as told in the instructions and if I am correct this backend > is not even touched in what I am doing. (For 'scanimage -d > tevion9693usb' the symptoms are the same, however.) The above debug messages should also list the tevion backend being loaded. > I am using the scanner kernel module in version 2.4.18.

Concerning your remark in irc: The gt68xx backend won't work. Bye, Henning
