Thanks, Miguel. I had tried two different 'hold' commands in a terminal and they didn't seem to work. I'm not sure if the one you suggest was one of them. Finally, I checked in synaptic package manager (Ubuntu) and libsane was not marked as locked so I locked it from ther and now things are fine. It sure is nice to finally have my scanner working again. Thanks for your help.
