Apologies for the long delay in acknoleding it, I was fiddling around tryong to get things to work. However, I seem to be going backwards. :( I downloaded libsane_1.0.12-4.bunk_i386.deb from www.apt-get.org (or from the link it pointed to). Tried to install it using Kpackage (which invoked dpkg -i ...) I got an error message of unmet dependencies - gphoto2 and libieee1284-3. I could try downloading those but I'm afraid of ending up in a cascade of dependencies. I'd assumed Adrian Bunk's packages should be compatible with what's already in Woody. I see that my /etc/sane.d/ directory now contains *.conf.dpkg-new equivalents of all the original *.conf files, plus one for the artec_eplus48u. However, sane-find-scanner (which worked OK when I previously tried it) seems to have completely disappeared. I get 'command not found'. I can't find it anywhere in my system. This is frustrating. (Later...) I just did apt-get -f install which removed sane, xsane and libsane. Then I did apt-get install sane and apt-get install xsane (off the Woody CD's) which put sane 1.0.7 back and now sane-find-scanner works. Which is where I was at before... I think I may just upgrade to Sarge (which should be due for release any day now) and hope that includes the Artec 48u backend. Regards Chris
