Never mind, I answered my own question. That is the firmware file. "sane-find-scanner" was finding the scanner, but "scanimage -L" was not. When I pointed the snapscan.conf at that file, "scanimage -L" found the scanner, and I was able to scan my first image. Sweet! One less thing I have to endure the agony of win98 for. Just one more question: is there a "standard" directory to put a firmware file like this? Or do I just park it anywhere I feel like it (I know this will work, just wondering if there's some convention to follow)? Thanks for the advice, especially the tip about the firmware. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
