Hi, Edwin.  Thanks for the information.  I will add it to SCAN-HOWTO.

For comparison, a similar procedure is required to use xsane, an improved
SANE frontend, from GIMP.  It's documented at
"http://www.xsane.org/doc/sane-xsane-gimp-doc.html".  It seems that depending
on what version of GIMP you're running, you would reference ".gimp",
".gimp-1.1", or ".gimp-1.2".
