I think now SANE is about the only thing available for scanners in UNIX, so I wil try it. Thanks for the info. Marco -- There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. -- Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior On Fri, 11 Jan 2002, the wise Anthony Campbell spoke, and said: > On 10 Jan 2002, Marco Beishuizen wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I have a HP ScanJet 4400 and I'm running FBSD 4.4.
