Hi Guys.

System was rebooted (due to another issue), but now the scanner is
working.  ScanImage, Gimp & Kooka are all picking it up.  As long as it
stays working, I will be a happy camper.

Now to see if I can get the network scanning working (not required, but
would be nice to have).

Regards,
Steve
