Hi, I'm using F16 on an AMD64 machine.
I have 2 scanners, a hp in my home network and an epson on the usb port. sane-find-scanner reports: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010b [Perfection1240]) at libusb:004:002 scanimage -L reports: device `hpaio:/net/Officejet_6500_E710a-f?zc=HP2CEF9D' is a Hewlett-Packard Officejet_6500_E710a-f all-in-one If I call xsane epson:libusb:004:002 or xsane hpaio:/net/Officejet_6500_E710a-f?ip=192.168.1.28 xsane works fine. I deleted the .sane-directory in my homedir and created a new one by saving options from xsane. The .sane-directory now looks like $ ls .sane/xsane/ batch-lists epson:libusb:004:002.drc hpaio:_net_Officejet__6500__E710a-f_ip=192.168.1.28.drc xsane.mdf xsane.rc My problem is that a xsane call without argument doesn't find my devices and reports an I/O error with hpaio:/net/Officejet_6500_E710a-f?zc=HP2CEF9D Why does xsane ignore my .sane/xsane/ ? My system apparently uses 2 different versions of xsane: /usr/bin/xsane (without gimp support) /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/xsane (with gimp support) but both have the same problem. I tried to change the gimp-Menu to call directly xsane epson:libusb:004:002 or xsane hpaio:/net/Officejet_6500_E710a-f?ip=192.168.1.28 but this didn't work. Thanks in advance for any idea! Michael
