First check that "snapscan" is in dll.conf.

I'm not sure if this helps though. Anyone > care to educate me about this? You can use the vendor/product names, but you must use the "scsi" lines for that und you can't use wildcards like you did. See man sane-scsi for details. > Now I have two devices listed in /proc/scsi/scsi (CD-R + > Flatbedscanner), sane-find-scanner lists my scanner but scanimge -L > doesn't list it. Weird. That just means that the scanner was not detected by a SANE backend for some reason. In your case the reason is simple: the snapscan backend isn't loaded because it was spelled "SnapScan" in dll.conf by Mandrake for some reason. > I'm calling scanimage and redirecting stdout to file like this: > > scanimage --format=tiff -d snapscan:/dev/sg0 > > /home/fieke/Desktop/somefile.tiff Here you explicitely tell SANE to load the snapscan backend. So it works. > xSane still doesn't work though. If you do the same as for scanimage, it will work: xsane snapscan:/dev/sg0 But with the dll.conf corrected, that isn't necessary. > I'm going to try the earlier dll.conf comment tonight.
