Do you have SANE installed? Take a look at:

I just got my scanner working - after m.u.c.h. pain. Once I found that
/etc/sane.d "was not used" and that /usr/local/etc/sane.d was, things
went much better.

Hi Cal
Just how did you get it to run and how was your scans? I would be very happy
to get this info for right now I changed scanner to my sons agfa E40 and it
works fine after i put the firmware where it goes.

Thanks Eddie in Germany

Little hard to answer as I did a lot of things - downloaded the L&G
xsane, scanimage, libsane(13) - swore a lot - then I started putting
printf statements in sane-frontends../src/xscaninmag.c. That's when
I got the statement "Can't open /usr/local/etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf".
And I said "/USR/LOCAL????" %%@$!&@#^%#!! Once I got that strightened
out - well things started working.

As to how the scanning went ... mixed - the docs I'm trying to scan
are old typewriter typed without any spaces between the chars ... on
old yellowing paper. I've played with "gocr" which xsane uses, and
unless I've missed something I don't see how to tell xsane how to
pass args from xsane to gocr. But then I'm just getting started.
This is the last thing I tried with gocr:
gocr -s 30 -m 130 -s 7 -i out.pnm -o out.txt

Rots-a-ruck.
