Skanlite could be it :) Skanlite is not yet officially released, but should be released as part of KDE extragear by the end of next week along with KDE 4.0.4. If you want to test it immediately you can check it out from KDE svn: svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/libs/libksane/ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/graphics/skanlite/ (Skanlite uses libksane which is soon moving to kdegraphics) -- K?re S?rs
