Hi Brian, it's absolutely o.k. to ask these questions here since there is no other SANE- related mailing list.
I assume you use SANE-1.0.5 or 1.0.6, right? I would recommend that you try out the latest version of my backend. It is available on my homepage http://home.t-online.de/home/karsten.festag. Don't hesitate to ask again if you have problems. Regards Karsten Brian Capouch wrote: > I have read and read and read.
