Hi, If you are running gimp as a normal user, you need to make sure that the permissions on the device file allow normal users to read and write to it. If "scanimage -L" works are root, but not as a normal user, that's may be your problem.
I'm using a usb scanner under 2.4.9 and use the following device file: crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 48 Aug 31 20:56 /dev/usb/scanner0 Thanks, Ryan On Wed, 19 Sep 2001, Keith Bates wrote: > Hi, > > I've just joined the list and just starting with SANE.
