Kieth

did you set the dll.conf file in sane.d?
comment out everything except    net,plustek ,v41

also because it's on the para  port  an ordinary user does NOT have the right 
permissions to use it so you will have to use the "net" device to ascess it.
read doc for saned and sane,net

just to check try running xsane as root to see if it works.     however DO NOT
NORMALLY USE AS ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!

hope this helps
