  Hi,

  inetd.conf and services look ok.

  You mean after the scsi MUSTEK ... entries? Or is this the only entry?
  I don't understand your configuration. Is your scanner connected to /dev/sga
  or /dev/sge? /dev/sge means that you have at least 4 other SCSI devices.

  If you run xscanimage like this:

  SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=5 xscanimage

  you can see excactly what the Mustek backend does and which devices it
  connects to and why (linenumber of mustek.conf).

  Probably the "scsi MUSTEK ..." entries activated your zip. With these
  entries all sg* devices are scanned for Mustek scanners. If you don't like
  this remove the scsi entries in mustek.conf and use only /dev/scanner. But
  maybe I didn't understand the problem ... Could you send the result of "cat
  /proc/scsi/scsi"?

  Yes, without accessing it can't know if it's a scanner or other device.

  Bye,
  Henning
