[sane-devel] sane-find-scanner finds it, other apps don't.

[Carlos]

I have the following problem with an UMAX SuperVista S12 scanner under
Slackware 8. I used to have this scanner running previously with
installations of LFS and SuSE 7.2 on this same box. sane-find-scanner sees
the scanner perfectly on /dev/sg0 and /dev/sga but other programs such as
xsane and scanimage don't.

What could be causing this problem?

Thanks,
Carlos.
