Jochen,

	thanks for this but it still reports no devices available.

	the command I'm entering (as root) is xsane -d mustek:1200CP.

	Please can you advise on the following is my mustek_pp.conf from 
/etc/sane.d

# choose between two different ways to lock to port
option io-mode alt_lock

# set the maximal height (in lines) of a strip scanned (default: no limit)
#option strip-height 0

# wait n msecs for bank to change (default: 700 msecs)

# size (in bytes) of scan buffer (default: 1 megabyte)
#option buffer 1048576

# try to avoid to heavy load. Note that this reduces scan speed
option niceload

# Define the time the lamp has to be on before scan starts (default 5 secs)
