  The driver (we call them backends) is the only part of sane that
knows the protocol the scanner speaks. So, the backend would have to
be called to perform this task. As an alternative, perhaps the
frontend (xsane in this case) could close the scanner when it is idle,
and re-open it when the user does something. That would in theory work
with all scanners.

Depends on which scanner you are talking about, which you did not say.

i'm not quite familiar with the code yet, but say i want to add a timeout
thingy for the scanner lamp,

normally the lamp turns off when you exit xsane, ok, but failing that
would
like to have a configurable timeout....

so i'll take any advice from who is already more familiar with the codes,

thanks
