Sounds like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/485551 Try without xsane. Run scanimage, a non-GUI bit of SANE. SANE_DEBUG_GENESYS=255 scanimage >lide50.pnm 2>lide50.log It should produce two files. lide50.pnm may be zero bytes long if the scan went badly. Else, it will be a nifty little "Portable aNymap" image, viewable with something like "gnome-open lide50.pnm" assuming you're running gnome. Either way, lide50.log will have a lot of internal stuff in it, which may shed some light given study. BTW, you can get a Launchpad account, if you haven't one already, and click the "Does this bug also affect you?" link that's under the yellow box at the top to vote for its resolution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/485551/+affectsmetoo Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Dorchester, Tuesday 2010-01-05 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
