howdy folks, I could not find my question in the archives so I turn to emailing the group.
I have a Dell GX270 configured as a RHEL5 box and as ubuntu 7.10 (seperate hard drives and currenlty swapping between the two) and an HP 5550 scanner. According to what I can see I have the same version of sane frontend (.991) and the same backend version (1.0.18) for both installs. Here is my problem. The ubuntu install (both live cd version and actual install) picks up my scanner rigth away. and I can use all of its functions, color scan, bw scan, sheet feeder, the works. works everytime without fail. with the RHEL 5 install it takes a crap everytime. I know the distro's i am using have two completly differnt constructs but i was hoping that if im using the same versions for both the front and the back ends, and the same hardware that i could figure out what was going wrong or missing. What am I doing wrong? What should I look for? -- Thank you, Adam A. Valenzuela
