For what it's worth, I appear to be in exactly the same situation as Torfinn, with my snapscan-e20. I've now run the back-end with the SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN env set to 255, and it is clear that it is running into the same device string parsing issue: [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of snapscan to 255. [snapscan] sane_snapscan_init [snapscan] sane_snapscan_init: Snapscan backend version 1.4.53 [snapscan] add_usb_device(libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.3) [snapscan] add_usb_device: Detected (kind of) an USB device [snapscan] snapscani_usb_open(libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.3) [snapscan] snapscani_mutex_open: could not parse device string: Invalid argument [snapscan] snapscani_usb_open: Can't get semaphore [snapscan] add_usb_device: error opening device libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen0.3: Invalid argument [snapscan] sane_snapscan_get_devices (0x7fffffffcbe0, 0) [snapscan] sane_snapscan_exit I'll see if I can help with the bug reportage. I know scanners are inexpensive (this one was), but it used to work very nicely for my purposes, so I'd like to un-break the software, by preference. Cheers, -- Andrew
