Bug Description
Binary package hint: xsane
Dear friends of the forum, after upgrading my ubuntu station to Natty, scanner of my multifunctions Lexmark X1110 stopped working. I mean that the device still operates correctly as printer, but the scanner is not found. Before upgrading, under Maverick, all functions of X1110 worked correctly
Here is the result of scanimage -L command
[CODE]
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[/CODE]But if I type sudo lsusb, here is the reply of the terminal

[/CODE]It means that the device is found: that's why the printer works correctly, after installing the right drivers. Thus, I run on terminal sudo sane-find-scanner -p. Here is the result
[CODE]
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# No Mustek parallel port scanners found. If you expected something
# different, make sure the scanner is correctly connected to your computer
# and you have apropriate access rights.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
[/CODE]Please, note that sane-utils and xsane are installed, saned user is present and enabled within /etc/default/saned, and the demon is started by the command
[CODE]
sane-port stream tcp nowait saned:saned /usr/sbin/saned saned
[/CODE]included within the file /etc/inetd.conf.
After all these attempts, I completely uninstalled xsane and sane-utils, trying to make a scan by using simple-scan package, unsuccessfully. I installed again xsane and sane-utils, applying the configuration they had under maverick, but still unsuccessfully.
I verified that the driver lexmark in /etc/sane.

Hi guys,
My brother has the same problem, upgraded to Natty (fresh install) and the scanner does not work anymore (Using Kubuntu 10.10 was working nicely with skanlite application).
Please, we need a fix...
Thanks.
