Hi,
Will - good job on this material, that's a great start to improving this
section.
However, make sure you use the validate.sh tool in our repository to
check the validity of files before you commit them, in this case yelp
will read the file, but it's invalid (the sections are in a funny order,
and you have some sections with the same id, which is not allowed).
Anyway, good job on the material :)
Matt

+ <para>Most of the time, Ubuntu will simply detect your scanner
and you just be able to use it. To scan a document, you need to follow
these steps:</para>
+ <procedure>
+ <step><para>Place what you want to scan on the

drivers from the SANE project. They can sometimes be used, but not all
the features may work.</para>

+ <step><para>Edit the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and enable the right
driver for your scanner. Look for the lines that say:</para>

the #) the right one for your scanner.</para></step>

+ </procedure>
+ <note>Because of the way Ubuntu's hotplugging stuff works, you
may need to plug in the scanner after the computer has booted. If you're
having problems seeing the scanner, you might want to try this.</note>
