Hey Mike

Thanks for you answer

I think the problem is the old backend, that came with RedHat 9.0 as
default.

The version was: 1.0.9-5

Amd the newest is 1.0.12, so maybe it is that

Can i just install the new backend, and nothing else?

regards
Christoffer

Greetings!
Well, I have the same scanner and I use Gentoo. The first time I installed
gentoo, I couldn't get the scanner to work right away. The problem is the
sane-backend. Do you know what version of sane you have. What does
scanimage -L show? If it doesn't show anything and your scanner is found by
the kernel, then the problem lies with sane's backend. If you upgrade to the
latest version of the sane-backend, it should solve the problem. What I did
was to download the backend from the website and follow the directions for
unpacking and installing. I installed right over the backend that was
installed by gentoo. It worked for me. Now, here is something strange. I had
to reinstall gentoo and before I upgraded the sane-backend, I tried xsane
and it worked. Who knows why? Well, if you upgrade your sane-backend, it
should solve the problem. HTH
