Well if it is not able to install all the SANE RPMs then of course it will not capture images. You may have a bad update source defined. Take a look at the sources in Mandrake ControlCentre>Software>SoftwareSources Try replacing your update source with this one . ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS
You might also like to install the libsane, sane-backends, xsane and xsane-gimp RPMS from the software manager instead of letting scannerdrake do it. BTW: Which version of mandrake are we talking about here? Its just that I have looked at the update list for 9.0, and I cannot see anything in there for scanners, so I am wondering what it is trying to download. derek On Saturday 02 Nov 2002 1:11 am, Andy wrote: > I usually try to scan images in XSane, but XSane can't capture any imaging > devices what soever.
