This means the backend could not find a file it needs to load into your scanner. You must have had this file installed correctly before for it to work so I do not know what happened in your move to loose it. If you can not find it on your system see http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ for details of where to get it from. > I still get the icon for Xsane on my desktop (KDE) automatically when I > hook up the scanner and so the OS is detecting the scanner fine.
