<EM>&gt; &gt; I propose getting scanimage to tell the user what's going wrong. You'd

<EM>&gt; nop, I also don't like answering the same question 1.1 million times
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; (look at the subject: stupid questions)... but as long as nobody writes
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; a patch for scanimage or whatever to make it easier to use, someone has
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to answer such questions...

<P>Yes, actually even for a while afterwards until the next release, and
<BR>
then a slow trickle while new versions go out to distribution users. I
<BR>
am happy some people have time to do this service for users.
<BR>
<P>I'm sure someone will write a patch. It hasn't been long since my
<BR>
original message and there's plenty of interest in this thread (not all
<BR>
of it from people who agree with me, but...)
