Hi, I succesfully used my hp7400C on a centos 5.1 until today. It stopped working just like that.
[root at termy ~]# rpm -aq | grep sane sane-backends-1.0.18-5.el5 sane-backends-libs-1.0.18-5.el5 libsane-hpaio-1.6.7-4.1.el5.4 sane-frontends-1.0.14-1.2.2 One thing I see of different behavior is that when I turn on my scanner it pops 'Ready' on the display immediately. It used to do 'Initialising' at first. now it reports scanimage: sane_start: Device busy scanimage: received signal 15 scanimage: trying to stop scanner scanimage: received signal 15 scanimage: aborting when I try a scanimage scanimage -L just hangs about, any clues? let me know if I have to post more details about the setup Regards jean
