I will try something like this, however, I do not think it will work only because I believe your scanner is supported and mine is not. I think my best recourse here is to apply the niash patch to the sane source package. I am a complete newbie with this sort of thing so doyou or anyone have any suggestions how I to apply a patch to a source file? Any help here will be greatly appreciated. When I get this going I will let all of you know how exactly I did it.
Thank you, Marcia
