I don't think this is contradicting. The mustek_pp backend comes in two flavours: CIS and CCD. At that point the CIS driver was included and CCD driver was added later by Jochen Eisinger, still before the 1.0.10 release. >Nevertheless, I installed sane, and made the configuration changes >outlined at http://www.jkelloggs.dk/en/linux/mustek_pp_cis.htm (sans >patches, which I'm told are unnecessary as of sane-1.0.10). > >Now when I run scanimage -L, I get my LeadTek TV Tuner card as a v4L >device, and that's it. No scanner. I comment out the 'v4l' line in >/etc/sane.d/dll.conf, and get 'no scanners found'. I assume that "mustek_pp" is not commented out. >Am I doing something wrong, or has the 600 CIS series been totally >disabled in version 1.0.10.

The most likely reason the scanner is not detected is that you haven't configured the sane network daemon (see http://www.penguin-breeder.org/?page=sane-net). Without that daemon, you can only scan a super-user (root). Have you tried "scanimage -L" as root ? Eddy --------------------------------- U surft met een klassieke telefoonlijn?
