scanner issues

[Serg B.]

Hi All, 

I am trying to get my scanner working. 

sane-find-scanner seems to detect the scanner:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x20b0
[ FlatbedScanner 22]) at libusb:003:006


When I open "Kooka" i am prompted with "Select scanner Device" Dialog
that also detects the scanner (and pre-selects it since its the only
one). However when I click "OK" Kooka (or Gimp) I get an error message
along the lines of:

"Problem: No scanner Found"
Your system does not provide a SANE installation, which is required by
the KDE scan support.

Also have the following pkg's installed:

kooka
libkscan-dev
libkscan1
libsane
libsane-dev
libsane-extras
libsane-extras-dev
sane
sane-utils
libsane
libsane-dev
libsane-extras
libsane-extras-dev
python-imaging-sane
python2.4-imaging-sane
sane
sane-utils
sanekonsole
xsane-common

And driver from CD in /etc/sane.d directory and edited snapscan.conf
file with extra line (in relevant section):

firmware /etc/sane.d/u176v046.bin

But I still get the damn error. Anyone...?

   Thanks,
      Serg
