One of the help pages on above twain-sane site (which I recommend reading) says that it installs its packages under /usr/local tree. So you probably want to edit the file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf file. Look at the comments about giving a USB device vendor/product ID's and using "auto" for device name instead of /dev/usbcanner. Macports should have same file if you prefer it but under /opt instead of /usr/local. Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
