** Description changed:
I've used a Canoscan LIDE 60 with no issues for I don't know how many
versions of Ubuntu, until now. For some reason, Xsane will not find it
on my desktop (No Device Found), and after the latest updates, I can't
find it on my laptop, either.
The scanner is connected via a usb plug. When I run lsusb, it the device
shows up with the ID 04a9:221c Canon, Inc. (as it should). It also shows
up with cat /proc/bus/usb/devices, so the device is definitely being
recognized.
However, sane-find scanner finds nothing (same when done as root), and
the command scanimage -L gives me nothing on the desktop, and just my
camera on the laptop (same when done as root).
Everything is fine with /etc/sane.d/dll.conf and
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf. The device uses genesys. I also made sure to
install the latest sane backends (1.0.19) and ran the patch found in Bug
#33383, but no joy.
Running sane-find-scanner should at least show a usb device, but I get
"No USB scanners found." This means I have to go into windows to use my
scanner, and I'm teaching now and need my scanner a lot. Not cool. I
know the device still works, though, because it works fine in windows.
I'm completely baffled at this point.
Any ideas?
Using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 530 and a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510. The
scanner has not worked on the Dell at all, and worked on the Lenovo up
until about a week ago.

+ UPDATE
+
+ I learned today that in /etc/udev/rules.d, the file 45-libsane.rules had
+ one difference in the CanoScane LiDE 60 line; all the rest of the lines
+ had ENV{libsane_matched}="yes", while the LiDE 60 line did not. I added
+ that, no luck.
+
+ I also learned from someone who had a similar problem a while back that
+ he had a file 53-sane.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. That was not in my
+ /etc/udev/rules.d. I tried adding it, with the same headers as
+ 45-libsane.rules and the LiDE 60 line, and again, no luck. (Admittedly,
+ I don't really know what the hell I'm doing there.)
+
+ What's curious to me is why this worked from I think Breezy on, and now
+ it doesn't. I'm hoping it's back for Intrepid.
