hi wolfgang, i was indeed able to get the scanner working yesterday. although it no longer works today. In the directory /usr/lib/sane had contained lots of links to 1.0.5 files. but the 1.0.5 files did not exists, since the 1.0.7 files did exist, i removed the invalid symbolic links and replaced them with valid 1.0.7 links. after that the scanner worked.
the snapscan e40 does not have a power button. the only way i can turn it off, is to unplug it. when i try to run xsane, xsane cannot figure out if the scanner is warming up, or disconnected. i suspect that is the problem now... but i have no idea how to solve it. what i saw was it worked until i went to bed last night. but this morning when i woke up i get the following errors from scanimage. [jimka@localhost ~]$ scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
