  Hi Nick. I only have one compatible scanner and after the amount of time and
  effort I've put in to try to fix whatever broke when I went to 2.4.1 kernel
  I'm not sure it's worth it. I certainly don't want to repeat this grief
  (three days and counting) just because I change scanners, or go to kernel
  2.4.2, or Sane-1.0.5 or some other very minor change.

  Please explain. I would have thought that since scanimage produces a perfect
  color scan then that would indicate the problem is with the frontend,
  specifically xscanimage and xsane. Obviously (right?) there is something
  different in how they talk to the scanner which baffles me.

  It does get confusing when scanimage is a frontend included with the backends
  and the actual frontends are seperate altogether. I think you're right.
  Scanimage is a command-line frontend scanning utility. Why it's part of the
  backends mystifies me but there it is.

  Thanks for the input. I'll keep plugging away at this and see what happens.

  All the best,
  Paul
