Oh.. okay :) Sorry about that.  I'll get hold of that :)

Thanks for pointing me at the Debian/Sane documentation.  I've read
through it and now find that Xsane and Quiteinsane will connect to my
scanner and produce an image file.  However, it's still distorted as
it was when I was testing with the command line.

Is it possible to tell the software to use other X and Y co-ordinates
so that my scanner doesn't produce iamges that are stretched
horizontally ?

Also, only two thirds of the vertical A4 page is being scanned. 
Changing the driver from ps2dfw2.usb to ps2dfw.usb has no effect.

The machine that is connected to the scanner is not connected to the
internet and so it's makes life hard to update it.
