Bug Description
Binary package hint: sane-backends
SANE and XSane are able to initially detect scanners listed as being supported here: http://
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login
2. Connect scanner and turn it on
3. Run 'sane-find-scanner' and it is found
4. Attempt to use the scanner with XSane or 'scanimage'
Expected Results:
The software should be able to communicate with the scanner and retrieve the scanned image.
Experienced Results:
The connection to the scanner is lost by SANE.
==============
WORKAROUND (for USB scanners):
1. Run 'sudo gedit /etc/sane.
2. Add 'usb 0x4b8 0x<device id>'
3. Save
Confirmed on Lucid 10.04 alpha 2 (see bug 521827)
