'scuse this late reply. I sometimes don't get on here v. often.
Some unusual behaviour to report as well, after another attempt to use the scanner this week:
(i) I turned scanner/machine on.
System: recognised scanner.
Simple Scan: did not recognise scanner.
(ii) Scanner turned off. Left machine on for a couple of days.
(iii) Scanner turned back on.
Simple Scan: recognised the scanner.
(iv) Told Simple Scan to perform a scan.
Simple scan: performed a scan.
(v) Told simple scan to stop half-way through (had scanned as much as necessary for this test).
Simple Scan: stopped the scanner.
(But unhelpfully, the scanner stayed stopped at the point where it had reached in the scan - the scan arm did not return to its neutral position - another bug?).
(vi) I think I may have restarted Simple Scan at this point, in an attempt to get it to return the scanner to its neutral position.
Simple Scan: says it doesn't recognise the scanner anymore.
scanimage: doesn't recognise the scanner either: "No scanners were identified."
Scanner: is still on, attached, and stuck where Simple Scan left it.
