If you want to use the pnm backend, you must enable it in configure (see PROBLEMS and configure --help). For testing, I would use the test backend instead if you use SANE 1.0.8. Just run "scanimage -d test -T" or add "test" to /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf and run scanimage --help. > I am a bit confused about USB support for Solaris 8 in SANE and was hoping > that someone may have already experimented on this front.

See my other post on this topic. You need kernel support for USB in general, and at least support for your USB root hub. Furthermore, a driver for scanners or at least a way to access USB devices (something like the SCSI generic driver, only for USB). Bye, Henning
