Hi,

on a system with the "cups" snap installed, I see the following errors in the logs:

Getting this error when plugging in a Canon DR-1210C scanner.
The device gets occupied by snap and sane is then unable to access it. "Device or resource busy"

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

The cups errors I see are generated during the boot process, before any peripheral is plugged.

People who report errors after plugin a peripheral just happen to see the same errors, but they are unrelated.

I am having the same issue with my PrimeFilmXE. This is keeping me from using the scanner at all

Turning the scanner on results in:

This problem might affect me as well on a dual boot laptop with ubuntu 22.04. See the SA question here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1492733/how-to-fix-sound-output-device-not-recognized-without-rebooting-on-ubuntu-22-04

- Is there any kind of workaround I can use?
- Can I investigate this issue further?
