Congratulations, XSane is now installed. If you have GIMP installed, you can use XSane as a GIMP plug-in. To do this, as root, type: ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/xsane /usr/X11R6/libexec/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/xsane Then run the GIMP, and a new "XSane" menu item should appear in the "Xtns" menu. Use this to access your scanner. Have fun!
