Comment 424 for bug 85488

Andrej,

I have the same problem with my BenQ (=Acer) scanner.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/85488/comments/40

works for me, but not always......

Sometimes it looks if nothing happens and then, after a while (5-10
minutes) the scanner starts!!! I'm using xsane scanner program.

Good luck

Hans
