I am yet another newbie with scanner trouble.I have read all the threads regarding this problem but have found no help. If I click on xsane I get the error::
Failed to open device 'snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0':Invalid Argument
What does this mean as I believe it installed all packages correctly and hotplu is active. Here is my Fstab and lilo.conf(Just incase?!?!?!?)

/dev/hdd1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdd6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd5 swap swap defaults 0 0

and my Lilo.conf:

My floppy is knackered. Any help is appreciated
Thanks I hope

Well it seems I have some gremlins playing with my PC as Everything is suddenly working which is really a good job as no one seems to be the slightest bit interested in hearing about yet another Scanner not working!!??
