Hi Mark,

Please send your requests for help to the sane-devel mailing list.
There are many more people hanging out there that may be able to help.

  mailto:sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

As for the URL you mention, that is a story from 1998.  While the
basics haven't changed (much) a lot of other things have.  Please
visit:

  http://sane.alioth.debian.org/

for more recent information.

Not without more information, for example the distribution and scanner
model you are using and maybe even some debugging information.

Hope this helps,
