Mint doesn't download the 1.0.25 backend with SANE; in fact it doesn't seem to do anything with respect to backends. I'm afraid I'm going to have to build the backend from scratch, and I have no experience with this. I did find a copy of 1.0.25 on http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/sane.html. That page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/sane, and others aren't really designed for Mint and newbies though. Where should I start? Thanks again, -- Scott W
