try looking at these sites: http://orbita.starmedia.com/~neofpo/yaprimaxgui.html http://primax.sourceforge.net/ They may shed some light on your problem. I remember that my acer usb scanner needed to have it's firmware uploaded using a perl script and a modification of the sane backend. Be prepared for a lot of trial and error and an equal amount of frustration. Regards, Mudder
