Did you run the 'scanner' installation GUI from Mandrake Control Centre? If so then it will install the driver for the HP3300c which is supported in Mandrake 9.0, but not in 8.2 Also how are you trying to scan images? You should either be running Kooka or XSane If they are not in your Kmenu>Multimedia>Graphics menu then you need to install the RPMs for them. As for the camera. I do not have one of those, and the gphoto2 project does not list it( http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/proj/libgphoto2/support.php ) so it may not be supported. Many people get around this issue by using a cheap Flash card reader to read their camera images. derek
