[sane-devel] Brand-Newbie question

I've just installed sane with the mustek_pp backend.
I had no /dev/scanner entry in my /dev directory therefore, after much
scrabbling around and guessing, I created a symbolic link from /dev/lp0 to
/dev/scanner.
I chose /dev/lp0 as this is the entry in /etc/printcap that equates to
the lp printer, and my mustek 1200cp scanner (CIS chipset with the
software patch from Eddy DeGreef) shares that port.
I edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and removed the comment in front of
mustek_pp.
I edited /etc/sane.d/mustek_pp.conf and changed the port to 0x3bc as per
the instrcutions in that file.
My problem is that when I run xsane I get the message 'no devices
available'. I've tried specifying mustek_pp:/dev/scanner and
mustek_pp:/dev/lp0 (and 1). But all of these fail.
Can someone tell me what I've done wrong, or have missed?
Thanks in advance,
Jim
