I am trying to install a Umax 2000U usb scanner on 9.2.
Scanner drake identifies the "Umax Astra 2000U found on
/dev/usb/scanner0" but when I either click auto or manual configuration,
it return to the main screen and reports "No scanners found which are
available on your system"

Much the same thing hapened to me in M9.1 and I solved it by gong to /etc/sane.d and opening the relevent text file to your make of printer, and amending the line that sets the scanner port,
like this, #usb /dev/usbscanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner0
I think it was an error unresolved in the way the detection sets it all up.
Funny thing was I didn't need to in M9.0.

I had the same problem when I first installed 9.2 a week ago. Also my floppy, zip and cd drives all vanished.
Yesterday, I booted up with the installation CD and selected the upgrade option. All missing hardware including the scanner was detected and this time, stayed detected. My scanner is still there this morning. (First time my scanner has ever worked with Linux.)
The hackers amongst you may consider this a bit of a cop-out but it worked for me.
Might be as well to install the updates first as I think it has been mentioned that there is some kind of bug in harddrake as supplied on the disk.
