Setting to Medium - moderate impact on core application/non-essential hardware
Marking as Confirmed.
** Tags added: regression-release
** Summary changed:
- Need method to disable sane from probing scanners on parallel port(s)
+ sane probing parallel ports hangs xsane and gimp
** Description changed:
my epson perfection 1200 worked ok before the last bunch of updates
scanimage thru the terminal hangs
gimp hangs looking for plugins
xsane image scanner hangs
nothing works.
sane-find-scanner still finds my scanner
+
+ SOLUTION:
+
+ I run strace xsane and found out that it was pausing while opening
+ /dev/parport0. I just turned on my printer (that just happens to be
+ connected to the parallel port) and tried again. Yo and behold, it
+ worked. :-)
