It worked fine with Kooka and XSane on 6.10... Problem: I can see the scanner in lsusb and when I fire up the apps it asks me which device I want to use (I also have a BT878 TV capture card) but when I hit the preview or scan buttons (in the app, not hardware) it runs the percentage till completion but the motor doesn't move and when it completes it comes up as all black... Is it a Feisty problem or did my scanner just died at a perfect timing? How do I check it? <--snip->> </blockquote></div> Here's a couple things that have helped me when I have had sane problems: 1. Does sane-find-scanner recognize your scanner properly? 2. What are permissions on /dev/bus/usb/{your_usb_addr? Mine are 664. 3. Have you tried rm -fr ~/.sane (use at your own risk... has solved many sane problems for me)? -- Mitch Contla
