I have run lsusb -v and sane-find-scanner -v -v as you suggested (The box/labelling for the camera has long gone) I have to say I cannot see the chipset mentioned in the outputs, I have pasted the [edited] outputs at pastebin if you wish to look over them yourself lsusb -v http://pastebin.com/794994 and sane-find-scanner -v -v http://pastebin.com/795000 Supposing the chipsets are supported, is it just a matter of modprobe <library> ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
