I have seen similar problems with a simple LIDE20. I needed git in order to run that scanner on ubuntu 10.04. It was about try and error. Would'nt it be nice, if scanimage and sane-find-scanner use the same routines to detect a scanner? Then in case of a conflict, scanimage could do some further analysis and give more meaningful messages to users. Users are typical bad at guessing about program internals, me included ;-) kind regards, Kai-Uwe
