Hmm, it's interesting that you say that you can't get Simple Scan to work for you
as I've had the *least* amount of problems with
Simple Scan than any of the other scanner software (with a Canon Pixma printer/scanner).
I guess different setups have their own
unique bugaboos!

I've never used anything BUT simplescan on 3 different scanners (none of 'em are
HP), an ancient SCSI scanner,
a Brother MFC device at work, and a new2-ish Epson at home. Each on a different
version/distro of Linux.
The Epson is new enough that the versions of SANE and SimpleScan bein g distributed by RH
don't know how to
find it, unless you hack at it a bit. I.e., the program will start up and fail to find any
scanners. I can
probably go into more detail if you want.
