Subject: Re: plustek supported scanner not recognized as plustek

Hello,

I'm not keeping up to date, but I wonder if the version of the
sane-backends provided with Redhat 8 is recent enough to include the
LiDE 20.

I have one, and it does indeed work, but not quite perfectly yet (too
much red still).  Perhaps the latest library works (1.0.13, I believe)
properly.  I don't use it enough to be in a hurry to find out - I'm
waiting for someone to backport this for Debian Woody, the distro I'm
using.

Ask any more questions you have.  I or someone else should be able to
help.

Cheers,
Bret
