I have done the following: 1. Edited the Snapscan.con and added the scanner. 2. Ran cabextract on the CD and go the firmware file. Placed in a directory 3. Edited Snapscan.con to include the location of the firmware. Kooka will ask if I want to use the scanner, but then be unable to locate it with Sane. When I open Xsane I get the following error message: Failed to open device 'snapscan:libusb:004:004' Invalid Argument At other times the number designation was 004:006 instead. I am really at a loss. I am going to go back through this but I have been working on this for quite some time. I am very much a noob, not quite two weeks out of XP. I really love Ubuntu, but I am at a loss here. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks, Gregg </BODY> </HTML>
