@francoispatte: "Bonjour,
I would like to buy a good scanner working under fedora 4. I want to
scan books, pages, papers... I do not need a sphisticated scanner to
scan photos. My aim is to have a good printing of book that I cannot put
in my suitcase when I am travelling by plane... just a good library in
my computer!
I printed the whole Sane database but, when I go to shops selling
scanners, here in Paris, I cannot find any model completly working under
linux FC4.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

How did you get it working: I tried now for hours, and it is always the
same: iscan answers that it cannot access the scanner....
sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L can see it though!
Thank you.

ISTR that the default iscan install puts a number of libraries in a
strange directory; /usr/local/lib/iscan/ , which is not likely to be in
/etc/ld.so.conf .  Add that directory to /etc/ld.so.conf , then rerun
ldconfig.  You may have to do the same thing with /usr/local/lib/sane/ .

Shame on me! Yhe problem was: the transportation lock was not fully
unlock.... And I got a message of the like: 'some hardware problem
occurs" in the log..
Now it is working using sane, better than with iscan. I got the firmware
from iscan package though. I read somewhere that this firmware could be
extract from the CD coming with the scanner, but I did not find it!
Anyway thanks for your help.
