Simple Scan worked perfectly for me today, but only once. The second use and consequent tests resulted in a fail.
The printer/scanner is turned on, the applet start is inconspicuous but when I push "scan" the circle of dots keeps on running eternally. I can only stop it by brutally choking the process.
Up to now I tried: Update, system restart, complete removal and fresh installation - to no avail.
