Further steps taken to isolate the problem Confirmed conflict between scanner and CD burner.
Removed sane 1.0.6 and replaced it with sane 1.0.7 SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 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). [snapscan] sane_snapscan_exit Removed the CD Burner and now get.
