I was using the live CD because I wanted see if I liked the distro. I did not want to go to the trouble of installing it only to find that I did not like it. I was able to run the scanner from an older version of Gimp on another live distro (Knoppix) Tom ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

No fooling around getting drivers, etc. I have been running Gimp on different versions of Linux. That might be why I did not have too fool around hunting down and installing drivers. On 2.6.8, (Ubuntu 10.04)I can scan: File - Create - XSane - Device dialog On earlier Gimp versions it was: File - Acquire - XSane - Device dialog It might be a matter of semantics as to whether or not Gimp does the scanning, but I have always been able to start a scan w/SCSI from Gimps File Menu.

[Gimp-user] Scan
Hi How do I get Gimp 2.6.11 to work w/my SCSI scanner? I am presently running Xubuntu 11.10 Live CD. CentOS 5 s installed on my HDD. It's version of Gimp runs my SCSI scanner. Do I need to download XSANE? ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
