Thank you - the package I found there seems to work fine - very grateful.

However, I can't find any evidence that a new SANE backend called epkowa
is being used - instead it seems to use something at
/usr/lib64/sane/libsane-imagescan.so.1, despite the fact that
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf doesn't contain any line enabling that backend. So
I don't entirely understand why it works, but I'm glad that it does !

Thank you - it works fine with xsane also.

Best wishes,
Roger Sewell.
