Hi Allan, the out put from scanimage -L is this: pi@raspberrypi /etc/sane.d/dll.d $ scanimage -L device `canon_dr:libusb:001:007' is a CANON DR-7080C scanner
So I think I am using the canon_dr backend but please correct me if i am wrong or if there is a better way of telling. I am reading the SANE documentation slowly but its not the easiest of reads! I shall have a try with the command line using scanimage and see what I can get. I have yet to put any time in this week as I had a server go pop which has eaten my lunch times so far. Also is there a list of valid output formats some where that can be used with the format option?
