When I scan a page it runs off to the right side and dose not print the full page. How do I set up for a single file I'm scanning a Manual. I'm new to computers my blind son set this up for me.

However, I also use Slackware (usually run the "current" tree, but now using the latest because "current" is temporarily inactive). I typically compile my own kernels to support just my own hardware and setup, too. I also bit the bullet recently and went over to using udev instead of hotplug, because the more recent 2.6 kernels simply do not like hotplug anymore. As I said, I am not using a scanner very much, but I had to face immediately the issue of making my gphoto stuff to work, because I am actively involved in gphoto development. Here is more or less what I found, and perhaps it is relevant: 1. It is easy once you know what you are doing. ;) 2. Gphoto provides a script to run which creates a file called libgphoto2.rules which one puts into /etc/udev/rules.d and I also find there a file called libsane.rules because I have an old scanner around so I installed sane (but haven't used the scanner so I do not know if it works well or not). In the libsane.rules each entry starts with a line such as (from the first entry) SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0101", MODE="660", GROUP="scanner" (all on one line, above, in case the mailer munges it). and as I said I do not know if that works. But if you want it to work then at least you have to have a group called "scanner" and whoever is going to use the scanner has to belong to the group called "scanner". If you do not have a group called "scanner" (check /etc/group to see if there is a group called "scanner" or not) then you need to create one. If you do have such a group then you need to add yourself (or whoever) as member of the group. Well, actually, I did set up an old box at work recently, with a 2.6.19 kernel, as a dedicated machine to run the scanner and it does find the scanner just fine. If you do not want to mess with a group called "scanner" you can do a hand-created file. Here is a similar line from my libgphoto2.rules file (file was hand-created by me, using the script in the libgphoto distro for creating it and I assume that sane has some similar facility): SYSFS{idVendor}=="093a", SYSFS{idProduct}=="010f", GROUP="users" and I know it works because I have one of those cameras and I am the one who wrote the support library for it. And as I said, there is some point with a 2.6 kernel at which hotplug quits working. Somewhere around 2.6.16 or 2.6.17 and after that one has no choice but to use udev. As I said, that has been my experience but YMMV. 3. You might try upgrading your Slackware distro if you are running a 2.6 kernel anyway. There might be some kind of problem with libusb; the latest version used now in Slackware is libusb-0.1.12-i486-1. 4. Good luck. Seems to me it all ought to work.
