    Hi Nick,

    Maybe there's something messed up in my libraries. What should libsane.so.1
    be linked to? Linking it to libsane-snapscan.so.1.0.4 gets me a little
    further, but I also tried libsane-dll.so.1.0.4 and that brought up all the
    choices revealed by scanimage -L. However, the first one usb
    /dev/usb/scanner0 core dumped xscanimage and scanned a gray-scale image (even
    though color was selected) in xsane.

    Please clarify. I would have thought that since scanimage is able to produce
    a perfect full-color scan (albeit 26MB) that this would indicate a frontend
    problem. No?

    You're right. It's just confusing that scanimage is part of the backends but
    is in the frontend subdir.

    Is there something about kernel 2.4.x that has broken Sane? This scanner used
    to work perfectly on this system, and AFAIR, I only upgraded Gimp to 1.2.1
    and the kernel from 2.2.17 to 2.4.1 (this fixed my USB printer).

    Anyway, would like to know.

    Thanks,
    Paul
