    Hi,

    someone reported recently that this model works fine with sane-1.0.3
    and new snapscan. Indeed I can't see any reason why the new backend
    would work with sane-1.0.2 and not with sane-1.0.3. It looks more like
    if you didn't put the new backend at all. The files in
    snapscan-whatever.tar.gz need to *overwrite* those in
    sane-1.0.3/backend.

    Try `rm sane-1.0.3/backend/*snapscan*` just before installing the new
    version -> if you can't compile sane then you didn't install the new
    version correctly.

    I can't see why you would have to change scsi modules between
    sane-1.0.2 and sane-1.0.3. Could you explain what you mean by "I
    have"?

    Wow, SuSE-Support-Database. That sounds great! I wish I had a SuSE so
    I could use such great concepts and maybe contact a
    SuSE-Object-Oriented-Support-Database-Master-Manager(tm).
    Unfortunately I have a Debian so I have to stay with a simple Bug
    Tracking System and I just have no idea where is this S-S-D.

    I am pretty sure you can go back to a recent kernel with a recent sg
    module. Remove *any* sane package installed from
    SuSE-Package-Database-Master-Archive(tm) with
    SuSE-Package-Maintainer(tm).

    Then get sane-1.0.3.tar.gz from sane homepage,
    snapscan-01112000.tar.gz from http://download.sourceforge.net/snapscan

    $ ls
    sane-1.0.3.tar.gz
    snapscan-01112000.tar.gz
    $ tar xvzf sane-1.0.3.tar.gz
    $ tar xvzf snapscan-01112000.tar.gz
    $ cp snapscan-cvs/* sane-1.0.3/backend
    $ cd sane-1.0.3
    $ ./configure; make
    $ su
    Password:
    # make install
    # exit
    $ xscanimage
