Thanks!

Edit n°1

installed xsane (via Ubuntu Software Center), launched it and get the following:

Clicking on "Help" yields:

I tried 4)

man sane-dll

which yields

No manual entry for sane-dll

I uninstalled "Simple Scan": didn't help.

I tried 3) but aborted due to unsettling warning ;) wasn't that brave (or desperate).

Maybe it's due to 1) and I'm stuck with it?

Is it really not possible that a driver for either Windoze or Mac OS would also support scanning via Ubuntu?

Edit n°2

Resorted to Windows XP and the Network TWAIN Driver

ScanRouter or the "lite" version (which I found elsewhere) might also work (under Linux??); but it's more than I need.

Thought about WINE, but also that seems to rely on SANE...

So still no luck with this device's scanning capabilities with Linux (but good enough (via xp) for my purposes)...
