I had trouble connecting from xsane to a Fujitsu IX-500 scanner on my wife's SL7.2 office desktop. At Sunday's clinic (thanks folks!), she learned to install xsane on two laptops (one SL7.3, one Mint 18.2), and xsane worked fine with the scanner on both laptops.
After looking for differences, I de-installed xsane-gimp on her desktop machine, and the scanner connected fine. I'm not sure why xsane-gimp was installed, or why we might want to scan directly into gimp someday, but for now we do better without it.
