Hi there,

I am still missing something here.
1) dmesg says 
uscanner0: Color  FlatbedScanner 13, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 2

2) in my sanpscan.conf I have...

firmware /usr/local/etc/sane.d/u96v121.bin
/dev/uscanner0
.. <scsi stuff>
usb:/dev/uscanner0
..
usb 0x04a5 0x1a2a
..

Then, I try to do
sane-find-scanner
# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (UNKNOWN vendor and product) at device 
/dev/uscanner0

# `UNKNOWN vendor and product' means that there seems to be a scanner
# at this device file but the vendor and product ids couldn't be
# identified. Currently identification only works with Linux versions
# >= 2.4.8.

If the current identification only works with Linux, what is the next step?

xscanimage /dev/uscanner0 reports fail to open /dev/uscanner0: invalid 
argument

TIA
