    Kind of coming into the middle of this, but it appears that you may be
    having the same problem I was having. Mandrake 7.0 here with GIMP 1.0.4
    and sane 1.0.1. I couldn't get GIMP to see my scanner. I upgraded sane
    to 1.0.2-3mdk and my problems disappeared. Apparently the sane 1.0.1
    that comes with Mandrake does not have the gimp support.

    You do want to link /usr/bin/xscanimage to ~/.gimp/plug-ins
    Mandrake apparently puts xscanimage in a different dir then the sane
    docs outline.

Until later: Geoffrey		esoteric@denali.atlnet.com

    I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with
Y2K...
