Maybe I can help someone as I game on this page with a similar problem. Note I use the 'Debian unstable' distro, but I think this can help Ubuntu users too as Ubuntu is based on Debian.
Problem: Recently Xsane failed to detect my Epson Perfection scanner. Fix: The problem (for me) seems to be in the 'libsane 1.0.19~cvs20070421-1' package. I downgraded this package with a manual install of 'libsane_1.0.18-6' from Debian testing and Xsane worked again. My system: - Debian unstable (well close enough to Ubuntu ;) - Debian AMD64 kernel: 2.6.20-1-amd64 - Xsane: xsane_0.99+0.991-3_amd64 -- some usb_devices fault if usb_suspend enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
