SANE tries to open all the device files that may represent scanners, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner9 in this case. The kernel scanner driver is just a bit verbose and tells that there is no scanner at that device file. In later kernel versions I have disabled that message. It doesn't harm, it may just slow down the detection of scanners a bit. If you want to reduce the amount of messages you get, you can delete some of the device files, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner1 ... scanner15 if you only have one scanner. Bye, Henning
