Binary package hint: simple-scan
CanoScan N1220U doesn't seem to be supported on a clean installation of ubuntu 10.10. After installing xsane, both xsane and simple-scan work with it just fine.
On 9.04 (or was it 9.10?) xsane opened right after plugging in the scanner without any other action.

"On 9.04 (or was it 9.10?) xsane opened right after plugging in the scanner without any other action."
This is a separate (usability) issue, right?
Does it keep working with Simple Scan when you remove xsane?
What other packages did installing xsane pull in? Can you track down the issue to one of those?
What configuration was changed when installing xsane?
