Hi Thanks to Henning Meier-Geinitz! That was a very prompt reply and my scanner now works. I think the key thing was in the plustek.config file - I did not have usb in brackets. The scanner makes more rattling noises than when I use it in Windows, but the images come out OK. I will do some more playing. Thanks again for your help, Steve. -- stevenking66@yahoo.co.uk
