I had my UMAX 2000 branded HP 3200c (Parallel port) scanner working with SANE just fine after I edited the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file to also look for this scanner, however (I don't know if it was coincidence or not, or if it has to do with the problem or not) after I upgreded my distribution (FC2) especially the GIMP to version 2.0.5 from 2.0.4, I could scan an image just fine, however while working on the scanned image (not yet saved) GIMP crashed (while xsane was still running). I tried to re-open xsane through GIMP, but xsane could not find my scanner anymore. When I tried running xsane or scanimage from the command line I get this output:
[umax_pp_low] SendWord failed got 0xE8 instead of 0xC0 or 0xD0 (umax_pp_low.c:3281) [umax_pp_low] Blindly going on .....

(umax_pp_low.c:5950) scanimage: no SANE devices found What does this mean? Just for reference, the way I have setup the scanner is as follows: The scanner is attached to my Zip drive (parallel port also) which is connected to the parallel port (lp0) on the computer, no printer is setup in the parallel port (I use an USB one). The parallel port is set to ECP and at an auto configured port in BIOS. Could this configuration be the conflicting point, even though it *was* working right? What can I do to have it working again? Thanks in advance for any input.
