Hello, The setup: Scanner EPSON Prefection V200 OS Ubuntu Server 64 bits 10.04.3
libsane 1.0.20-13ubuntu2 sane-utils 1.0.20-13ubuntu2 iscan 2.28.1-3.ltdl7 iscan-data 1.14.0-1 iscan-plugin-gt-f670 2.1.2-1 The problem: Everytime I scan a document with scanimage I have to wait _exactly_ 3 minutes before it returns to the command line. Below are the end of the debug logs from dll and epkowa: [DLL] 2012-02-05 20:48:31 scanimage: read 26780688 bytes in total 2012-02-05 20:48:31 [dll] sane_cancel(handle=0x1088da0) 2012-02-05 20:48:31 Closing device 2012-02-05 20:48:31 [dll] sane_close(handle=0x1088da0) 2012-02-05 20:51:31 Calling sane_exit 2012-02-05 20:51:31 [dll] sane_exit: exiting 2012-02-05 20:51:31 [dll] sane_exit: calling backend `epkowa's exit function 2012-02-05 20:51:31 [dll] sane_exit: finished 2012-02-05 20:51:31 scanimage: finished [EPKOWA] 2012-02-05 20:58:42 scanimage: read 26780688 bytes in total 2012-02-05 20:58:42 epkowa.c:5955: [epkowa]{C} sane_epkowa_cancel 2012-02-05 20:58:42 device.c:536: [epkowa]{C} dev_unlock 2012-02-05 20:58:42 Closing device 2012-02-05 20:58:42 epkowa.c:2554: [epkowa]{C} sane_epkowa_close 2012-02-05 20:58:42 device.c:242: [epkowa]{C} dev_close (fd = 0) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 Calling sane_exit 2012-02-05 21:01:42 backend.c:251: [epkowa]{C} sane_epkowa_exit () 2012-02-05 21:01:42 dip-obj.c:152: [epkowa]{C} dip_exit (0x1fe46b0) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 cfg-obj.c:468: [epkowa]{C} cfg_has (0x1fdf630, 4) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 cfg-obj.c:468: [epkowa]{C} cfg_has (0x1fdf630, 3) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 cfg-obj.c:468: [epkowa]{C} cfg_has (0x1fdf630, 2) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 cfg-obj.c:468: [epkowa]{C} cfg_has (0x1fdf630, 1) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 cfg-obj.c:411: [epkowa]{C} cfg_exit (0x1fdf630) 2012-02-05 21:01:42 model-info.c:209: [epkowa]{C} model_info_cache_exit (0x1fdf$ 2012-02-05 21:01:42 scanimage: finished As you can see, I always have this 3 minutes delay just after sane_close. I would be glad if someone could help me to understand what this temporal hole is about. Thanks in advance. Bests, Emmanuel MICHEL
