Hello! I was a bit too fast... The problem is back again, but I'll have a further look into this.
By "clean" installation I meant I installed Leap42 on an empty disk, using the official NET-installer ISO, and without touching the repositories. Meanwhile I had to add repositories to install some other software, and now, my scanner doesn't work again. I agree that most probably something from this software has broken my scanner, and I'll try to find out what it was. Therefore, I now have installed VirtualBox on my Leap42 (where the scanner doesn't work), and have installed a Leap42 as guest system. When I hand the USB scanner to the guest system, it works there... Weird... I'll keep you informed!
