gimp xscan

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Man, you are having trouble <G>.  I have a Microtek Scanmaker IISP. I 
simply set up the /etc/sane.d/microtek.conf file.  I have scanner in my 
USE flag.  I have gimp-print installed and may have re merged gimp after 
  I put in the scanner. I did create a scanner group, added me to it, 
and modified /etc/devfsd.conf.
