Mustek usb scanner



I'm trying to set up a Mustek 1200UB scanner. This usb scanner is supported
under Linux by a driver supplied by MUSTEK. But there's one **small** :-)
problem. Harddrake (Mandrake 8.0) doesn't see the scanner. I tried booting
WIN98 to make sure it's not a hardware problem. The scanner works there. 

I installed all the RPMs for SANE support and the MUSTEK driver.

I've looked at all the HOWTOs and man pages about scanners, usb, and GIMP, but
I must be missing something. Everything **seems** to work fine when I go
through the installation instructions - I printed 4 different HOWTOs that I
found on the Internet.

I have the scanner module loaded and usb support works (I have a usb printer).

When I run GIMP, there's no scanner in the aquire menu.
When I run  scanimage --list-devices I get a message saying there are no SANE
devices.

According to the MUSTEK Linux documentation, both these symptoms mean the
scanner connection may not be good, but as I wrote before, this is not true
because I can use the scanner in WIN98.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA
