I double-checked, and > scanner.h in the local kernel source has this listed... The kernel scanner driver supports (almost) all scanners. That's not the problem. The SANE driver must know about your scanner. > Thanks for any suggestions.

If there are already sane-backends 1.0.10 RPMs, use them. Otherwise get the source. You can check if your version of sane supportes a specific scanner: http://www.mostang.com/sane/sane-old-backends.html The list at the front pages alsways is about the latest version. Bye, Henning
