[sane-devel] sane-find-scanner works but scanimage does not find scanner

[Jim Newton]

hi, i've installed all the lastest sane rpms under redhat 7.2.
when i run sane-find-scanner i get promising results.
but scanimage cannot find any SANE devices.  Any ideas of what
might be wrong, or what i can try, or how i can get more debugging
information?

# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

# You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices.
# Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access
# permissions as necessary.
