I did.  I just rebooted and tried it again too!  That puts me in mind, is 
there anything I could maybe pass via lilo to the kernel?

Only that it is not claimed by any active driver.  I would have thought that 
the kernel patch would be designed to cope with this anyway.  The driver also 
requires some support files taken from windows, which I assume also factor 
into supporting this.  The thing about endpoints is completely meaningless to 
me, I'm afraid!  Somehow I think I am going to learn anyway.... :-)

Is it possible that the scanner is faulty?  In such a way that it will work 
with windows but not with Linux?  The twain driver for the scanner crashes 
annoyingly often.  I have had the same problem with a serial port once on a 
different machine (working in win but not lin, that is to say).
