Herr Meier-Geinitz:

I am having trouble getting sane and xsane set up on my system. I have =
an HP ScanJet 4c with the symbios SCSI card. It worked fine under =
windows and I notice in the sane docs that it should work with linux.=20

My problems may lie in the initial set up of sane, xsane and =
sane-frontends in my debian linux system. I read that I could run =
'sane-find-scanner' and yet even after reinstalling sane and xsane, I =
could not run that command.=20

If I run 'locate sane' I get a host of directories where various sane =
files and folders exist. I am wishing I could purge everything related =
to sane from my system and then start afresh with a clean new setup of =
sane.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?=20

Scott
