	This is strange, even ran by root, it's a user process, and can be killed.
If you have the occasion to test, I'd like to see the messages of  umax_pp -p -t 255

	Hum, maybe the effect of previous tests. Try to run it again after
resetting the scanner as explained at hppt://umax1220p.sf.net .

	By default, umax_pp backend isn't 'activated' by SANE's default install. You
have to edit 'dll.conf' and remove te '#' on the line '#umax_pp' (ie un-commnet the
Umax_pp backend).
