Thanks Allan,<BR>
I tried running scanimage and it turned out that sane-utils was not installed. After installing sane-utils the scanner is now recognised and works properly.<BR>
<BR>
For the benefit of other newbies like me: To install sane-utils type the following in a terminal window or search for sane-utils in Synaptic<BR>
sudo apt-get install sane-utils<BR>
<BR>
Maybe this could go into the documentation?<BR>
<BR>
Regards<BR>
