They have a patch (source code) that can alter the SANE source to become Scanjet3400c compatible. I may have to look into that, but I also found this in the patch documentation: **************************************************** before trying to make your scanner work, call: $ less /proc/bus/usb/devices if your scanning device is not listed by name, you probably have a 3400C or 4300C and difficulties with the kernel-usb. The forum will give you information, how to change the kernel code, to make your scanner work. **************************************************** My /proc/ is totally empty. It is not clear what forum they are referring to. Even more frightening is this, in the SANE documentation: **************************************************** To get your scanner detected by the uscanner driver, it may be necessary to add its vendor and device ids to the kernel and recompile. Use MAKEDEV to generate the /dev/uscanner* files if they are not already there. Use sane-find-scanner to find your scanner and edit your backend's configuration file appropriately. ****************************************************** Good point, since I have no /dev/uscanner* - but I have no MAKEDEV command either! And there are more lines I simply do not understand: ****************************************************** If you want to use libusb, your scanner should *not* be claimed by the uscanner driver. Make sure, that /dev/ugen* and /dev/usb* devices are available. Use /dev/MAKEDEV to create them, if necessary. ****************************************************** I come straight from Windows XP. Perhaps I bit off a bit more than I can chew... Can this be solved by a newbie? thanks again, -Jay
