For devices which have 2 bulk-out endpoints support by sanei_usb is not provided as you noted. See this page for a patch for sanei_usb_read_bulk_ep. (sanei_usb.c and sanei_usb.h files), use only the sanei_usb_read_bulk_ep parts. In a few weeks i expect to add these parts to SANE cvs. -- -------- m.vr.gr. Gerard Klaver
