On the other hand, if the scanner is disconnected from the working environment, sane-find-scanner continues to `find' the scanner as before (when it was really connected), scanimage is cleverer and says `there is no scanner', dmesg doesn't signal anything. Of course, if you want the scanner working again you must reboot. I'm afraid it's better to forget the problem again. Many thanks, Roland, for all your patience and advice. Next time I'll report 5.3 bugs only :-) Harald -- FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Mon Oct 27 17:51:09 GMT 2003
