David: While I don't know much about scanners, I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so here goes... I took look at www.yolinux.com (an excellent source of linux information BTW). Their tutorial on linux scanning that a link to (www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/). This is the guy that writes the sane backends for Epson scanners, and he says that the 1250 is not and probably never will be supported, but that the 1240 is OK. HTH, Carroll
