Ok.  Now did you do what SANE told you to do in the message below?

This program may be on your Linux distro.  It is not supported by Wine.

If you had bothered to read the thread you've just hijacked, you would have
the answer: you can't. You need to install the SANE backend for your
scanner.  If your scanner is not supported by SANE, you are out of luck. Whether
your scanner is supported by SANE and how to install the backend if it is are
not Wine questions. Ask on your distro's support forum.

Many thanks for the reply. The support forums are a Labyrinth, this too.This is
my FIRST POST and my LAST. I am DE-REGISTERING.Ciao.Dhan
