Comment 418 for bug 85488

The sane devs "fixed" this in their latest cvs development versions by using a similar workaround to what the kernel devs are doing. they have just set up a new udev rule for each scanner to disable suspend for that device when it is plugged in, so it is not really all that different from the blacklist in the kernel. And if I am not mistaken (and it would be nice if I were), this ability to disable it this way needs the newer kernels so the latest sane snapshot would not work in Feisty.

If scanning is mission-critical, then as is suggested, using the LTS release would be the best action until Gutsy is released.

I used the scanbutton daemon in Feisty to successfully scan all my photos to my hard drive, and it is now working normally in Gutsy (LiDE 25 scanner)
