so you should have at least: /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf usb 0x04a9 0x220d /dev/usb/scanner0
These are the last few lines of plustek.conf (sic)
# # and of course the device-name # # device /dev/usbscanner device auto
I would change this to 'device /dev/usbscanner'

and delete all but one of these 'usb 0x4a9 0x220d'
the /dev/usb/scanner0 line might want to be /dev/usbscanner, you will need to experiment
If I understand correctly "device auto" picks up the device.
why leave it to chance?
yes, there is also, /dev/usbscanner
all devices lists start with devicetype0 rather than devicetype - do you think that is an issue here?
no, reference plustek.conf (sited above).
Although you suggest the printer comment was irrelevant I notice that plustek.conf seems to be looking for "usbscanner" rather than "scanner" in usb/ similar to the formats that did/didn't work for testing usb printers
usb is relevant, printer is not, just happens to be usb?? make the changes to the plustek.conf and try xsane report -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
