Anyway, that scanner is not supported by the SANE distribution but by the external hpoj backend so it's the version of that backend that matters. > I modified /etc/xinetd.conf and /etc/services as suggested in 'man > saned', and I tried changing both the user and group in > /etc/xinetd.conf to 'root' as well. You need saned only if you want to scan over the network or if you have a parallel port scanner that needs root priviledges otherwise. "scanimage -L" as root should work even in the case of wrong permissions. Does sane-find-scanner find the scanner? Is "hpoj" mentioned in dll.conf? Bye, Henning
