<EM>&gt; &gt; Following Oliver's earlier advise I deleted /dev/scanner and I now skip
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the 'pick a scanner' screen. Interestingly, sg1 is a link to sgb. I can
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; only assume that xsane is checking /dev/scanner and /dev/sg[a-h], but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; not /dev/sg[0-9].
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>

<EM>&gt; Hi Bob,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; that has nothing to do with xsane, it is done in the backend.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; A typicall backnd.conf (here umax.conf) looks something like that:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scsi UMAX * Scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; /dev/scanner
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The first line is for linux and this means the backend
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (there is a lib in the sane package that does it for all sane backends)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; searches all generic scsi devices (/dev/sg*) for vendor=id=&quot;UMAX&quot;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and type=6 (Scanner). The lib is intelligent enough to know that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; /dev/sg1 and /dev/sgb are the same.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the second line &quot;/dev/scanner&quot; is for non-linux-systems. Here the user
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; has to tell sane to which device-file the scanner is connected.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<P>Thanks, Oliver. All much clearer now. Just a minor suggestion for future
<BR>
releases...would it be possible to commment the *.conf files so that
<BR>
this is a bit more clear?
<BR>
<P><PRE>
