What about sysrescue USB stick? Just plug the scanner in and and see if it shows up on the lsusb list? That should work even if I can't scan right? I have a old backup computer but it is like three years out of date and it was never set up to have a scanner attached. I'm thinking it would be fairly useless without a serious update which would not be fun. I have a thought. I could take it to my brothers and see if it shows up there. He runs Kubuntu but if lsusb lists it, it is a start. Right? Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
