There should still be xscanimage, part of the sane-frontends port. I'm successfully using it with a scanner found by sane-find-scanner as found SCSI scanner "SCANNER 2.02" at /dev/pass0 and it works very well with xscanimage. You should be able to use that tool in PC-BSD too, although it uses Gtk. It does not require any kind of deamon or other program running, so it should be okay to use it within KDE. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
