Thanks for your thoughts. In my case, the scanner is connected directly, not using a hub. > I don't know if you have lot's of backends uncommented in the > dll.conf file (I > suppose its present in mac X too) but that might give a longer > startuptime. I did have almost all backends active (it was the default), I've uncommented all but avision. However, the response time of "scanimage -L" is still the same. From my most recent tries, it appears to me that once "sane-find- scanner" detects the scanner, I still need to wait half a minute or so for "scanimage -L" to detect it as well. -Moritz
