    Default Scanner issues in Linux

    Well, I'm using Linux at the moment (Ubuntu, Watry Warthog), and can't seem to get my USB scanner (Agfa SnapScan e20) to work. This kind of sucks, since I am an artist, and I need the scanner almost every day.

    Xsane is unable to locate the scanner, so I tried installing a backend, and it worked. When I rebooted the PC, the problem was still there. I tried once more to install the backend, and it still wouldn't work.

    I know many people have had problems with USB devices and Warty. I was told to try to pMount the scanner, but it didn't work, because I can not locate the scanner's directory. It's not in /dev/usb/, like it should. I've been looking around a bit, and it's nowhere to be found.

    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, just Google it: http://sf.gds.tuwien.ac.at/00-cat/nap/snapscan/

    EDIT: File #11 there is the one with the same name. Don't know about the other files there.

    Yeah, I downloaded it, untared it into the backend directory, but nothing new to report. Still can't find the scanner.
