Xsane in Sane and I'm not sane, but:
mark@lexington:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 03f0:0105 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 4200c
sudo sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0, product=0x0105) at libusb:001:005
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
mark@lexington:~$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool

ScanJet 4200Cse USB basic 8bpp color, 75/150/300/600 dpi only
So the backend is up-to-date. Errhh, I mean there is a proper backend, how can I tell if I have it?
http://alioth.debian.org/project/sho...release_id=660
Shows backends, but I am too newbee to know what to do. When I tried to download the:
sane-backends-1.0.17.tar.gz
FireFox download manager asked if I wanted "open with archive manager". I don't know if that's correct or not.
Anybody have a clue?
