You mean it is not detected by the kernel scanner driver? In this case, tell the scanner driver the ids of the scanner: rmmod scanner modprobe scanner vendor=0x0001 producr=0x0002 For 0x0001 and 0x0002 you use the values you got from sane-find-scanner. > Astra 3400 (PID of "0x0060" from "sane-find-scanner -f") > RHL 8.0 > plustek.conf is stock except for the addition of the vendor/product > codes Check that the device entry is correct. Usually it should point to /dev/usb/scanner0. Use the device printed by sane-find-scanner. And check the permissions. If it still doesn't work, turn on debugging: SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=255 scanimage -L Bye, Henning
