It did exist on my 5.4 machine....but then: > You cut put a line like > > usb /dev/uscanner0 > > in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/niash.conf Roland, do you know if niash.conf is in, and/or unique to, the 6.x release? I do not see it on my 5.4 machine. Since sane is a port, I don't think it would be in one release, but not another. It is a new sane backend, so perhaps it is not yet in the ports tree, somehow? Here is pkg-plist from sane-backends on 5.4: etc/sane.d/ma1509.conf etc/sane.d/matsushita.conf etc/sane.d/microtek.conf etc/sane.d/microtek2.conf etc/sane.d/mustek.conf etc/sane.d/mustek_usb.conf etc/sane.d/nec.conf etc/sane.d/net.conf etc/sane.d/pie.conf etc/sane.d/plustek.conf And the sane page: <http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-NIASH> From: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend> About HP3300c SANE backend This project is about writing a Linux SANE backend for the HP3300c USB color scanner. Support for other scanners with very similar chipsets, like the HP3400c, HP4300c and the Agfa Touch is also planned. Operating System: All BSD Platforms (FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD/Apple Mac OS X), All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes), FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Is it perhaps sufficient to create the niash.conf file? I wonder, because some of the conf files look like they may have aspects that are necessary for the correct functioning of the scanner. > > I come straight from Windows XP.

Raccoon...I think it can be solved; but it may depend on whether or not there is a backend; or, perhaps, if the dll.conf file entry is sufficient. I do not know which, if either, is the case. -- .sig is .tired. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
