Good news is the scanner is perfectly supported (I have one) but the<br>
plustek backend, even in older versions of sane (like 1.0.19).<br>
Probably you have an issue with library paths, but someone familiar<br>
with MacOSX and macports would need to give you advice on SANE with a<br>
mac, sorry.<br>

One of the help pages on above twain-sane site (which I recommend reading) says that it installs its packages under /usr/local tree. So you probably want to edit the file /usr/local/etc/sane.d/plustek.conf file. Look at the comments about giving a USB device vendor/product ID's and using "auto" for device name instead of /dev/usbcanner.<br>
<br>Macports should have same file if you prefer it but under /opt instead of /usr/local.<br><br>Chris<br></div></div>
