Hi Stef, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
Unfortunately, this isn't the problem that I am experiencing. My compute= r was=20 originally set for ECP/EPP when I had SuSE 7.2. I could not get the scan= ner=20 to work at all (directio or ppdev). A simple change to EPP only and it=20 sprung into life! Now, I have tried some of the latest distros as I mentioned (all with ker= nel=20 2.4.19) and cannot get the scanner to work in EPP only mode. So I have t= ried=20 your suggestions and switched back to ECP/EPP and now I get no response=20 whatsoever.
