Bug Description
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. :-)
