with great interest i have followed this 'discussion' : http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-July/014027.html
i've just applied the patches mentioned in that discussion to sane-backends 1.0.16 (what are the correct permissions for /var/lock/sane btw ?) export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK=255 ; sudo scanimage -L gives this : [plustek] Scanner information: [plustek] Vendor : Canon [plustek] Model : LiDE25 [plustek] Flags : 0x00000000 [plustek] drvclose() [plustek] usbDev_stopScan() [plustek] usbDev_ScanEnd(), start=0, park=0 [plustek] usbDev_close() [plustek] attach: model = >LiDE25< [plustek] sane_get_devices (0xbfffe7b8, 0) device `plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Canon LiDE25 USB flatbed scanner [plustek] sane_exit [plustek] Shutdown called (dev->fd=-1, libusb:001:003) [plustek] Waiting for scanner-ready...
