Hi Peter, The kernel version doesn't match, so I was not able to use your objects in my RedHat system. Then I used the ppscsi patch provided in Tom's message and it did compiled successfully. However when I did 'insmod epst' I got "init_module: no such device" error. And doing 'scanimage -d hp:/dev/sg0 --mode Color > hpscan' gives me "scanimage: open of device hp:/dev/sg0 failed: Invalid argument". Have you seen this kind of error before? Thanks for your help,
