Hi all, thanks to all for helping resolving this. By setting the device name in sanetwain.ini in c:\windows to the device name returned from scanimage -L everything now works.
One thing that might help people like myself would be if the location of sanetwain.ini was explicitly named and this resolution was added to a sanetwain FAQ (granted the fixes Herman and Henning should still be applied). Thanks again, Jim Herman Kuiper said: > Hi, > >> - sanetwain should not call sane_cancel() when sane_open() >> hasn't succeeded.
