It seems that the libsane people have made some serious changes to libsane version 1.0.20, and have broken compatibility with all the frontends. XSane, xscanimage, and any other frontend I've tried cannot find my CanoScan LiDE 50, even though my scanner is working fine with Windows XP via Sun VirtualBox with USB passthrough.
sane-find-scanner seems find the scanner, and reports: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2213 [CanoScan], chip=GL841?) at libusb:001:012 but no frontend can use it. scanimage reports "no SANE devices found". I've searched for a way for downgrade to libsane version 1.0.19, but I've found no easy way to do this. -- XSane is not compatible any more with libsane in Karmic (9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
