Wasn't it a permissions problem with my printer?
Yeah the setuid bit wasn't set when we set that up, easily missed though as that was a bit of a hack!
I also have gimp-print working well with my Epson Photo 700 inkjet printer so I am well chuffed, I now have a linux gfx design workstation!
What scanning software are you using? does the GIMP have scanning built in?
http://www.mostang.com/sane and xsane which integrate with the gimp very nicely! What I did wrong to cause the frustration was I purchased a scanner from one vendor over a week ago as it was a half price agfa recon unit, unfortunatly it was broke so I sent it back for a refund and said sod it and got an Epson as they are best supported under linux. As I had half setup the system from the other day I forgot to set the permissions on /dev/usbscanner so although I configured it all correctly in less than 10 mins it took half an hour of swearing trying to figure out how to get the system to give me some debug output. As soon as I got that output I could see the permissions problem!
What ever book you get adam, let me know what one you want and I will sort you the discount.
What books do we get a discount on? I will put it in the FAQ. I just ordered myself a copy of grokking the gimp elsewhere (I forgot about our discounts) but I'm not going to check how much it cost me now as I don't want to kick myself!
