For what it's worth I use a commercial program called VueScan for old/unsupported scanners. I run it on a Mac but it's also available for Linux and Windows. Might be worth a shot if other avenues don't pan out.> On Aug 20, 2016, at 13:17, J Martin Rushton <martinrushton56 at btinternet.com> wrote: > > This scanner is supported according to the SANE page, but doesn't work > on my up-to-date C7 system (updated 20 minutes ago).

Thanks. I've downloaded the trial version and it works. If I can't get SANE to run it at least concerts a brick into something useable.

I suppose you are either using a different scanner or made modifications to your installation. The original poster probably needs to rebuild using either the C7 SRPM with a drop in 1.0.25 tarball (either remove all patches from the spec file or hand pick those still appropriate) or work from a recent Fedora SRPM. When building from the C6 SRPM the file /usr/bin/umax_pp has to be added to the SPEC file file list. This might be the case when building from the C7 SRPM also.
