I've just done so and the lamp was reset to the ready position! I saw some errors written to stderr, but the lamp got back home! Then, after unplugging and replugging the scanner, I was again able to scan something. > Don't know if debian > ships it, but you can build it from SANE sources.

It seems that Debian does not include the umax_pp tool; I've just reported this missing as a (wishlist) bug: http://bugs.debian.org/496833 In the meanwhile, I managed to compile sane-backends from source and then use the umax_pp executable from inside the tools/ directory, as you suggested. And, as I said above, it worked like a charm! Thank you very much for your kind and quick answer. You saved my scanner! ;-) Bye and thanks again. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! .....................................................
