You can add write permissions (o+w) to the usb connection (/dev/bus/usb/<nnn>/<nnn>) where output of sane-find-scanner tells you these numbers. This will change likely each time you switch the scanner off and on, and the permissions will disappear on reboot. > secondly, how can i save all of the debug output of 'scanimage >>test.pnm' for you all to see? > add 2> <outputfile> to your command line. Then the error output goes to the outfile. The stripes you see are the RGB data not properly overlaid to give you combined colors. Regards, Gernot
