One of the two recent portupgrades seems to have broken scanning for an HP 2200C using the Plustek backend. One of the issues I face is that I don't recall if the upgrade for Xsane occurred before or after I last used the scanner successfully. 0.98a was released twice, in late November; followed closely by 0.98b in early December. However: prior to the port upgrade for the Plustek backend (this was released/ported on or about 2005-12-26th) XSane and the appropriate Sane backend worked fine. After the backend upgrade, the best behavior I can obtain from Xsane is a core dump. Before I submit a bug report to the Sane maintainer or the Xsane maintainer, I thought I'd ask if anyone else is seeing this or similar behavior: Xsane will just appear to hang, as will xscanimage. The light for the scanner comes on, and sometimes the scan will begin; if it does, the light stays on after the core dump and does not return to its bay. Both sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L work, but Xsane sometimes eventually dumps core and xscanimage doesn't do much of anything. Thanks in advance, and best regards... Joe
