Hi! As written in my last posting in the thread "suddenly problems [. . .]" I installed my scanner at the pc at work. Didn't help. BUT: after plugging in again the other, former at this pc installed (working!) scanner, I get the same error message starting xsane for this scanner, that worked 2 minutes before! I'm totally confused now. Only unplugging (and plugging in again) makes the scanner stop working. Even after rebooting the system, there's an error opening /dev/usbscanner0. USB-devices are hot-pluggable, aren't they?! Could I have destroyed the scanners by unplugging them while the pc was running??
