Christopher M. Penalver, I'm again away from home till early February, so I do not have access to the home desktop coputer with Asus mother board. If it helps Ubuntu developers I'm willing to do the bisect project using the link you provided. Nevertheless, I would like to know and understand the following:
(1) If the kernel configuration is the same for a kernel that scanner works and for another kernel that the scanner does not work what is the point of bisecting kernels? Please, explain. (2) Apparently the kernel recognizes the scanner devices, but something takes it over and causes it to report as being busy. Shouldn't we direct our investigation towards that? Note: before I left home I wiped out the hard drive again (you know, the dd stuff) and installed 12.04 flawlessly. Everything works on the Asus computer, and I do not have 13.04 installation anymore. But again, if it helps I can create an install and do the bisect. Also, I installed 12.04 on my Acer laptop, abandoned my W7 boot and use only my Xubuntu on it, completely happy. I'm writing this on my Acer laptop, from Xubuntu 12.04.

Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu, but got no answer. I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04? I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on 13.04.
