Yes - in fact this and snapscan are the only two enabled

Sempron 2600 so presume I'm ok.

Yes...
Compiled your sane-backend-25-10-11 (first time I've compiled anything) and
scanimage works ok. I scanned a page (without setting any parameters), but
I really want to get the transparency unit working.
Xsane or Kooka (kde) both fail with"no device found" and nowhere obvious to
change configuration so I'm stuck with no gui at the moment.

Downloaded source.tar for iscan-1.17 but it fails at configure stage
advising 'imlibgdk and gtk-config not found'. I haven't been able to find
them either in Kubuntu repositories, particularly imlibgdk.
