Thanks, Eddy.<br><br>Synaptic reports I have libieee1284-3 installed (version 0.2.11-3). I tried with /etc/ieee1284.conf and still didn't work, but now it could "attach" to partport0 even though it couldn't "initialize" it:<br>

<br>
you probably ran into an incompatibility between the kernel and libieee.<br>
See <a href="http://home.scarlet.be/eddy_de_greef/Sane/" target="_blank">http://home.scarlet.be/eddy_de_greef/Sane/</a> for more information<br>
(Reported problems - first bullet).<br>
<br>
You can try to update libieee to version <a href="http://0.2.11." target="_blank">0.2.11.</a> If that is not an<br>
option, you can try to work around the bug by creating a file called<br>
/etc/ieee1284.conf containing this single line:<br>
<br>
disallow method ppdev<br>
<br>
That line should enable you to scan as root.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Eddy<br>
