Uhh, I didn't think about the direct approach.

Ok, I commited the patch without the printf("\n");

Does anyone like to write a similar patch for sane-find-scanner.c?
I don't know, if this is even possible because the output is
completely different depending on the type of the device (USB/SCSI).

Maybe we can at least add an option "-q --quiet" to suppress all the
messages not talking about devices.
