Only GIMP can start ScanGear. No other application software can start ScanGear. If GIMP is not installed, you must install the software.

hi all, found the 2 above line in the Scangear manual for linux. looks like only GIMP can open.

i tried and it really works after several round of installing and uninstalling different mp2** drivers.

sorry..what i meant is i installed scangearmp-common_2.00-1_i386 and scangearmp-mp230series_2.00-1_i386 then start the scanning successfully through GIMP. file -> create -> scangear MP

i tried before this on xsane and simplescan. both this doesn't work.
