Thanks Jacqui, you're most kind.
Maybe you'll understand my not wanting any more hassle with it - I've
ordered a new scanner this morning after half an hour on-line finding a
(non-Epson!) one that works properly with Linux.
BTW, I'm still only a month or so into Linux, was at LUG meeting at
Nokia, but already am amazed at how very helpful and kind you (we?) all
are.
