Gimp doesn't recognize my usb scanner

Hi !

After compiling and installing GIMP, the program doesn't recognize my USB SCANNER. But Linux does it.

Can you help me ?

Thanks

Gimp doesn't do scanning. Instead it calls on another program (usually xsane) to do that chore. You have to move xsane, or a copy of it or a link to it, to one of the places where Gimp looks.

On my system I am user "safe" so xsane can be found here: /home/safe/.gimp-2.3/plug-ins/xsane

Have you installed the xsane front ends?

What version of GIMP, what distro and version of that distro.
