my scanner = Canoscan LiDE 100 couldn't use this scanner on 18.04 at all without getting a thick black line in the output. not a massive issue so far as it still worked ok on a 16.04 machine we've got. After checking back into this conversation today i tried to scan again on 18.04, issue was not resolved but then i tried the ppa mentoned above in comment #77 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git sudo apt-get dist-upgrade tried again and bingo! black line has gone. Thank you to everyone involved!

The proposed uploads should fix the issue. They are available in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/sane-backends [Test case] 1. Install the libsane (libsane1 in bionic), libsane-common and sane-utils packages from {bionic,disco]-proposed. 2. Use an affected device to scan, and find that the issue is no longer present. [Regression risk] Upstream commit, focused bug fix => low regression risk [Original description] On Windows it works but on my Ubuntu 17.10, 18.04 and 18.10 I see a black band on scanned image.
