I'm away from it currently but will try what you suggest when I get back to it at the end of the week. I don't know much about udev but will try to figure things out.

     You guys know about <AVASYS CORPORATION <http://avasys.jp/eng/>>  ?
     To get my multi-function working in the past I had to really dig 
for the
parts to get SANE working and pointed in the right direction,
     But the Avasts downloads were very handy.
     Other files will be requested quite often during the install
process and some files might have to be manually moved to
the proper directories.
