    Hi Alexander !
    Thanks for responding.

    Yes, I still have problems to get my parportscanner to work in Linux.
    The scanner is stonedead, no matter what I do ... But it works great in
    Win98.
    You said I should use strace ...
    Ok, I haven't tested that, so way not ?
    But IŽam getting error when I do the code you recommended ?
    I get this:
    [root] # strace -o /tmp/scan.txt SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1 scanimage -L
    strace: SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=1: command not found

    What am I doing wrong ?

    I installed from sources, because I wanted the latest version
    (sane-backends-1.0.15).
    No, the sane-version that shipped with Fedora Core didn't work either.
    No, I havent the RPM installed also, that package is deinstalled.
    So, there is no conflicts with other sane-packages.

    IŽve also posted my problem to Fedoraforum:

    >> I must say that your posting is a fine example how a good problem
    >> description looks like. Excellent.
    Thank you !
    I realy want a solution on my problem, so I hope there is no
    misunderstandings.
    My native language is swedish, so I hope my english is intelligible.

    Any help on my problem, is appreciated.
