This is from the as6e backend. I guess even if there is no scanner
connected, it will print this if it finds the as6edriver program in
its path.

I also think that he has two SANE installations. Maybe XSane was from
his distribution and is linked against /usr/lib/libsane.so while
quiteinsane is linked against the 1.0.7 /usr/local/lib/libsane.so.

He should check if he has different dll.conf files. If there is one in
the current directory, it's used instead of
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf.
