Removed libsane with synaptic. sudo apt-get install libusb-dev make clean /.configure make sudo make install scanimage -T Success (over WiFi)! One little bug (?) I spotted: $ scanimage --mode Color --progress > temp.pnm scanimage: unrecognized option '--progress' $ scanimage --mode Color -p > temp.pnm works ok When I removed libsane with synaptic I lost hpijs, hplip, sane-utils, and xsane. I grabbed xsane-0.997.tar.gz from http://www.xsane.org/cgi-bin/sitexplorer.cgi?/download/, sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev the the usual /.configure & make sudo & make install. After rm -rf ~/.sane/xsane/* xsane worked too (also over WiFi). So Alessandro many thanks for your help, and I hope these notes will help other people Googling with the same problem John
