Have you tried running xsane to see if it is picked up? What is the full name (model name and number) of this scanner?

According to http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/...&bus=any&v=&p= it seems that this model is unsupported by Sane.

Thanks Xavier

I take it then that there is no way I will ever get my scanner to work with Ubuntu ?

All it means is that it is unsupported right now, it may well become supported in the near future. I'd suggest regularly checking back to see if it becomes supported. In the meantime you could look into using Wine or a virtual machine to try to get it working - it woould make for a bit of a hack, but only you know if it's worth it.

Thanks xavier for your time and help it's appreciated, I don't really want to go down the wine or virtual machine route I want to try to make things work natively if possible it's really not that big an issue it works ok with windows just a bit disappointing thats all Thanks again for your help
