Hi David, Please check the used sane version with 'scanimage -V'.
Your scanner should be detected from sane 1.0.23 with 'scanimage -L'. You can do a testscan with 'scanimage >pic.pnm'. I would prefer xsane as grafik frontend for sane. You can fetch the latest sane version 1.0.24 from git. The installation is described in README.linux: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux. There comes a newer version of README.linux with the sources from git. Cheers, Rolf Am 16.01.2013 22:54, schrieb David H. Durgee: > The all-in-one went on sale and I decided to buy it to try it.
