Dear Marcia,
Glad to hear that you got your scanner working.
Tried to get the rpm's from sourceforge working but them being
Mandrake rpm's I had some troubles with the instalation and I
could still not get it working.
Did you realy use the mandrake rpm front and backend and did
it finaly work? (That was what I did with 8.1 which worked but
which failed me up to now with 8.2)
It gives me new hope to have the scanner working again.
