<b> Hello Allan:</b><br>
<br>
I went by this:<br>
<br>
from: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.sane-project.org/source.html">http://www.sane-project.org/source.html</a><br>
<blockquote><b>Linux</b><br>
Most Linux distributions package SANE with modifications required
to support their authentication or permissions systems. We
recommend you use the vendor's packages. If you need a more
updated version of SANE, be prepared to build from source, and ask
on a distro-specific forum for advice.<br>
</blockquote>
synaptic lists the installed and latest versions as the same<br>
<br>
sane: installed 1.0.14-9 | latest 1.0.14-9<br>
libsane: 1.0.20-13ubuntu2 | 1.0.20-13ubuntu2<br>
sane utils: 1.0.20-13ubuntu2 | 1.0.20-13ubuntu2<br>
<br>
From the backends list
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30186">https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30186</a>), <br>
it appears that the "latest version" is from 2004. <br>
Well ... argh ... that's how I learn.<br>
<br>
I did go ahead and download sources for sane 1.0.22. I compiled and
installed it (3 times),<br>
had to get supporting files (libusb-dev and libsane), and replug the
scanner and restart <br>
the machine several times.<br>
<br>
But ... it is now working well enough.<br>
Phew.<br>
<br>
Thank You,<br>

But when I do a test via

I get a:

It didn'tt matter what other options I tried setting with scanimage.
I am assuming this is an "obvious" error to somebody, but I could not find
anything
to help me resolve this. Any pointers as to what may be going on or where to
look next?
Thank You,
Mike
