This is caused by one or more of:
- the interpreter taking its time to clean up and leave the device in a
consistent state
- the SANE USB layer taking its time to reattach the usblp module
To identify the culprit could you please provide the relevant part of
the SANEI_USB log, with and without the SANEI_USB_KEEP_USBLP variable
set? This environment variable can be set to completely disable the
(iscan specific) usblp module tweaks in the backend.
Hope this helps,
