Mandrake did not add this (for me anyway) and my HP scanner would not work without it. Scott -- Nothing goes to waste when Little Fish are near!

Possibly the biggest help for tough hardware problems is to google your question, in this case I would first try "scanner 4400C linux", which scores 410 hits. Including many from the sane-devel list, which is a good thing, as sane is the program that allows scanners to run under linux. I also see that it is a USB scanner. Do you have the USB subsection running properly? Maybe the scanner is being detected, but not set up properly. Rob Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.
