Hi, I don't know if this email is sent to the correct list. Please tell me if not.
My problem is as follow: I have a Snapscan e25 (agfa) on a ubuntu 6.06 machine. This was working nice until I add a Samsung printer (ML2010). Apparently, the proprietary driver of the printer does some nasty things, including altering the sane configuration (in case the printer is a multifunction, which it isn't in my case). Since I installed the printer, xsane was working as root. I did some googling today, and found that re-installing sane solved the problem. I tried, and since then, my scanner is no longer found (I reinstalled Snape25.bin as well, and the files in /etc/sane.d haven't changed after the reinstall). Basically, if I run sane-find-scanner, it returns: found USB scanner (vendor=0x06b9, product=0x4061) at libusb:001:003 if I run scanimage -L (as user or root): No scanners were identified. 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). SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128 scanimage -L doesn''t mention anything special around the snapscan lines: [dll] init: backend `sp15c' is version 1.0.0 [dll] load: searching backend `snapscan' in `/usr/lib/sane' [dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1' [dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/sane/libsane-snapscan.so.1' [dll] init: initializing backend `snapscan' [dll] init: backend `snapscan' is version 1.4.50 [dll] load: searching backend `sm3840' in `/usr/lib/sane' I also found that it might be better to remove sane completely, to make sure there is no conflict between two installs, but there is apparently a dependency on "gnome-desktop", so I would prefer not to do this... I'm a bit lost, because in most of the similar issues that I can found, people check the "scanner" module, which apparently is not used anymore (and by the way I don't have it) Any ideas? Regards Cyril
