I have never heard about scanimage rebooting a computer until now. If you don't run scanimage as root I guess there is a kernel bug or permission problem because a user shouldn't be able to crash or reboot the kernel. You can check if this is a problem of the hp backend by commenting out all the other backends in dll.conf. Also check that you don't have a link /dev/scanner pointing to any USB device. Is hp.conf configured according to man sane-hp? Bye, Henning
