As you already noticed, software that you compile and install manually, puts its files into /usr/local. So you'll find the configuration files for SANE in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ . And your scanner is supported by the avision backend, not by the hp backend. Maybe confusing, but blame the manufacturers :-) As you scanner is detected I don't think it's necessary to change any config file. > Changing /dev/scanner to link to /dev/usb/scanner0 Do not ever do this. /dev/scanner is for SCSI scanners only. > I installed xsane-0.84-8.i386.rpm, but it looked for libraries in > /usr/lib while 1.0.10 had put them in /usr/local/lib.

Concerning the inverted images, Rene has already answered. Bye, Henning
