the important thing is to narrow down when exactly the regression happened. ubuntu 11.10 and ubuntu 12.04 differ in more than just the simple-scan version, but the scanner driver from libsane-backends changed as well and is probably the problem here. so we would like to know if on ubuntu 12.04 one version of simple-scan works and the other is broken (problem in simple-scan), or if e.g. one version of simple-scan works on ubuntu 11.10 but not on 12.04 (problem not in simple scan, but the driver).
please try: ubuntu 11.10 + simple scan 3.4.0 ubuntu 11.10 + simple scan 3.4.1 ubuntu 11.10 + scanimage ubuntu 12.04 + simple scan 3.4.0 ubuntu 12.04 + simple scan 3.4.1 ubuntu 12.04 + scanimage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984974 Title: Simple scan update broke communication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/984974/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
