okies,

In addition to what i said before .. check this url i think you will find
it a very usefull

http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html

it list all supported scanners for linux/sane and kernel version required.

Im sure more help can be found there as to what needs to be selected in
the USB tree.

hope this helps
