I'm not sure if I've asked this yet or not, but here goes. I've got an acer scanner sitting here on my desk that hooks up to the box via printer port. I've been concentrating on getting all the priority stuff hooked and debugged. i.e. the printer. (which was quite a challenge since it was an unsupported Canon BJC6000) Anyway, I was wondering what program(s) in Linux Mandrake handle I/O for scanners such as mine? It's an Acer Acerscan 620P. thanks -- Mark I love my Linux Box... REASON # 2 ...X-windows is just a suedonym. Registered Linux user # 1299563
