Add the USB IDs to /usr/local/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf: # CanoScan LiDE 90 (untested) usb 0x04a9 0x1900 > I am running FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE amd64 . Haven't tried 64-bit, and the sane-genesys man page has warnings about pulling the plug on the scanner if the scanning head hits the stops. If you were using 32-bit, there's a slim chance of getting the Windows scanning software to work under Wine. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
