This sounds suspiciously like bugzilla.redhat.com report #110174. If you're running RHL 8.0 or RHL 9, there is an experimental package that appears to solve the problem. At least for Red Hat Linux, the problem was triggered by a change to the library search strategy in glibc, but the real "culprit" is claimed to be sane-backends. Good luck.
