Quoting Colin Rose's post here --- The problem is that somehow a typo is introduced in the file /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. If you get the error 'no devices found' then edit the above file and change the word 'SnapScan' to 'snapscan' and it should work. <end quote> I may be way off here but I seem to recall reading somewhere that this can affect scanners other than snapscans. -- http://www.poogle.co.uk
