Second update: I'm now running Knoppix LiveCD, and the scanner works
just fine with SANE - scanimage, XSane, and xscanimage (which is absent
from my main SANE installation) scan to the end without ever jamming.
The scanner makes some strange noises which it doesn't in Windows, but
it *works*.<br>
But since my main OS is FC5, and I (obviously) can't boot from Knoppix
everytime, I absolutely have to get SANE to work on Fedora.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
