    Running Debian GNU/Linux(frozen).

    I run:

    veal@slash:~$ find-scanner
    # You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices.
    # Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access
    # permissions as necessary.

    find-scanner: found processor "HP C5110A 3701" at device /dev/scanner
    find-scanner: found processor "HP C5110A 3701" at device /dev/sg1
    find-scanner: found processor "HP C5110A 3701" at device /dev/sgb
    veal@slash:~$

    (sgb and scanner are symlinks to sg1)
    (shouldn't it say "found scanner"?)

    and then try this:

    veal@slash:~$ scanimage -L
    veal@slash:~$ scanimage
    scanimage: no SANE devices found
    veal@slash:~$ scanimage -d hp > test
    (scanner runs)
    veal@slash:~$ ls -l test
    -rw-r--r-- 1 veal veal 1118766 Apr 12 16:00 test
    veal@slash:~$ xscanimage
    xscanimage: no devices available.

    Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkmain.c: line 534 (gtk_main_quit): assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed.
    veal@slash:~$ xsane
    (window pops up: xsane: no devices available)

    In short, I can scan only by specifying the device directly to scanimage, and
    nothing in x will work.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
