Check the log on your screen for errors. Above mentioned fault seems about your par port, strange if you have a usb scanner. Maybe disable some backends in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf could help(place # before backend name), check also man sane-snapscan and check /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf -- -------- m.vr.gr. Gerard Klaver
