If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). > Maybe using the USB vendor/product IDs won't trigger the problem with > the snapscan backend?

However; I have this unit already taking up some space here, it works with earlier versions of FreeBSD, so I would prefer that I could get it working with FreeBSD 8 as well. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
