Whoa! Weird. I have a USB version of the same scanner, and my power adapter died. I can indeed confirm this, and also confirm how much of a PITA it is when no one stocks one - I have just been looking in the last two days! > Which I will make. No problems thus far. Um... What are the chances of making two? :-) I would happily pay for your services. :-) > The driver for this unit, however, is something else. While the kernel side of things was usbscanner.o (which worked okay), you are better off using the libusb user-space support for it that comes with xsane. Indeed, usbscanner has been removed from the 2.6 kernels because the user-space support is so much saner (mind the pun). :-) Thanks, - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norway http://2004.guadec.org/ "I believe in true love.
