In the mustek_usb backend I'm using the following compromise: Try to detect all supported Mustek scanners by "usb vendor product" entries. If this doesn't work (because the kernel doesn't support it), the user must specify the device file and type of scanner manually. So with newer Linux kernels the user doesn't have to modify anything and the backend doesn't interfere with non-Mustek scanners. Bye, Henning
