[brlug-newbies] Scanner

[Roger Dedon]

I'm using Mepis 7.0.  I'm using sane.  I type xscanimage into the command line and I check the processes running and it shows xscanimage is running.  Nothing comes up on my screen.  The scanner connects through usb.  Usually when I hook something to a usb  port I get something on the screen showing something is hooked up, but this doesn't show anything is hooked up.

Thank you

Roger
