The xsane program is linked into /usr/local/lib/gmp/1.2/plugins directory. There is a necessary file called /usr/local/etc/sane.d/epson.conf An important line in this file says: usb /dev/usbscanner The actual device file is: crw-rw-rw- 2 root root 180, 48 Mar 25 2001 /dev/usbscanner When I boot I get these messages (try dmesg | less to examine yours) usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner scanner.c: USB Scanner support registered. As the others said, let us have all the gory details. I have an Epson Perfection 1240U. HTH -- John Culleton Subscribe to the Self_Publisher's Newsletter!
