> gary Gary, thanks! I found one typo in the libsane.usermap file for the CX6600 line and corrected that. Now I have the following link being created on boot up: /dev/scanner-usb-:proc:bus:usb:001:002 However, the system will still not scan. No matter which frontend I try to access the scanner with I get no connection. JFYI, when I installed fedora 4 I did not do an upgrade, I did a clean install. I have always created my home folders on a separate parition, whenever I upgrade I just do not format the /home partition. I had no old config files around and the installation is less than 1 week old. Thanks John
