Hi, I just joined the list so please forgive me if this has already been discussed (I did check the archives but didn't find anything): I am running Libranet 2.7 (Debian based), kernel 2.4.19, Xsane 0.90 and have a Benq 4300U flatbed scanner. I am using Snapscan with firmware u176v046.bin. Sane is located in /usr/share/sane and I have an entry for the scanner in /dev/usb/scanner0.
The relevant part of my snapscan.conf: #------------------------------ General #----------------------------------- # Change to the fully qualified filename of your firmware file, if # firmware upload is needed by the scanner firmware /usr/share/sane/u176v046.bin # If not automatically found you may manually specify a device name. # For USB scanners also specify bus=usb, e.g. /dev/usb/scanner0 bus=usb Everything works ok but if I unplug the scanner, either the power or the USB, then when I try to start Xscan again it can't find the *device*. I have to re-boot the computer to get it to work again (something which I loathe to do). Q. How can I re-initialize the scanner without rebooting so that Xsane can find it?
