No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

------
I doubt that a /dll.conf file is valid in linux, is it? 

This has been ongoing for several days, the scanner works fine under windows
and if necessary windows can be installed on this machine for debugging.

Would someone suggest the correct DEBUG_ commands to generate useful logs,
I got bushed trying with insuffient knowledge.
