Christopher: I'm back and executed commands as per your instructions (broke-up the && sections to make sure I don't confuse the computer and myself).
Everything went well, I suppose, but there are two isuues I cannot explain - see attached file also. (1) a warning window popped uo saying I'm not using official ubuntu kernel. This was a virgin installation and regularly updated. I did not mess with kernel (not on this installation; I do compile my own kernel for my FC3 original installation on a different partition, where both the scanner and lexmark printer do work). I copied the warning message to the attached file, top section. So how come I'm not using an official kernel? (2) see copy of terminal window output in attached file, below the xxxx separator. Is this relevant to the bug? Thank you and all others who read this and try with me to solve this problem.

Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu, but got no answer. I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04? I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on 13.04.
