Try to set SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 before and mail me the output. > # ls -l /dev/ | grep scanner > crw------- 1 root scanner 180, 48 May 21 2001 usbscanner > # ls -l /dev/usb/ | grep scanner > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root scanner 15 Feb 28 18:30 scanner0 -> > /dev/usbscanner This is fine, but will restrict scanner access to root (do "chmod g+rw /dev/usbscanner" to allow access for members of the scanner group). > /dev/usbscanner > usb 0x06bd 0x208d > firmware /usr/bin/Snape40.bin You should delete the entry "usb 0x06bd 0x208d". The snapscan backend currently doesn't implement this sort of auto-recognition (but it's planned for the future). You don't need to recompile. Regards, Oliver
