2009-05-19 09:03:13 xteejx 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 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. :-)
