Ah...THAT would explain a lot!

I'm using the backends that came with Mandrake 10.0, which claim to be 
1.0.13. Sounds like I should un-install the Mandrake version of sane and 
install from another source (hopefully I won't have to compile...)

Can I just change the backends, or should I change the whole thing?

Thanks for the help!
