  I just installed SANE. When I run "xscanimage", I get this:

  xscanimage: no devices available.

  The man page says "To access an available device that is not known to
  the system, the devicename must be specified explicitly."

  So, I try "xscanimage musteka4s2" and it works fine.

  Now, I want to use xscanimage as a GIMP plug-in, so I set up the
  symbolic link and lauch GIMP. When I go to the "Xtns-->Acquire
  Image-->Device dialog..." menu option, I get this (again):

  xscanimage: no devices available.

  How can I explicitly specify the devicename when using xscanimage as a
  plug-in?

  Thanks,
