5300C used to work perfectly in Gutsy. It does not work in Heron. When connecting the scanner the usb devices are created but not assigned to the "scanner" group. If I manually change the group to "scanner", device is detected when starting xsane as normal user but the program segfaults or hangs when trying to get the preview of perform directly a scan. I have solved the problem by downgrading libsane to libsane_1.0.18-3ubuntu1 and everything is fine. So it is clear there has been a regression here for libsane. The only problem now is that update-manager keeps continously annoying me trying to convince me to upgrade again! (also indicated in bug 83587 which I do not know if it is a duplicate of this, maybe not).
