Hi Mark,

Please send your requests for help to the sane-devel mailing
list.
There are many more people hanging out there that may be
able to help.

  mailto:sane-devellists.alioth.debian.org

As for the URL you mention, that is a story from 1998. 
While the
basics haven't changed (much) a lot of other things have. 
Please
visit:

ian.org/

for more recent information.

Not without more information, for example the distribution
and scanner
model you are using and maybe even some debugging
information.

Hope this helps,
