Hi, I'm new to this list and if there is a information source I could have looked up - let me know :) I tried the webpage and the archive.
My problem started one week ago, as I turned one the maschine and sane couldn't find my scanner. It worked on this Maschine with the same setting more than 6 months without any problems. I installed a newer version of sane (1.0.6), but this didn't fixed the problem. May someone one this list can help me to bring the scanner back online. The scanner is working under windows, so it isn't broken and the scsi system looks ok to me, the only thing are the rights on the links to the scsi devices, but that didn't changed (I guess).
