hello all, I am still using a "Linux From Scratch" based setup and it was not fun getting sane to notice/ work with the supplied libs. Lexmark supplies a sane 1-18 based "backend" but even after doing the official install (hard in itself because you have to "workaround" its "detection" of the installed CUPS version and you can not have either rpm or deb-install present). THAT SAID when it finally adds the libs you have to edit dll.conf in order for them to be seen. This is not a /big deal/ but what was a problem was having the scanner be seen as a "2600 series" ONLY if I was in /etc/sane.d at the time of running scanimage -L. If I cd'ed to another place it suddenly became an X1100 scanner which is a totally incompatible backend. I finally got around this by clearing the old ~/.sane and running xsane from /etc/sane.d. I then saved the configuration to the new .sane. I did this for all accounts and it finally picks up the scanner with no problems! Just a heads up I guess.
