Congratulations, SANE-FRONTENDS is now installed. If you built it with WITH_GIMP set to yes, you can use xscanimage as a GIMP plug-in. To do this, type: ln -sf /usr/local/bin/xscanimage ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/xscanimage Then run the GIMP, and a new "Acquire Image" menu item should appear in the "Xtns" menu. Use this to access your scanner. Have fun!
