[sane-devel] Xsane does not start Canon LIDE30 scanner

[Gord]

Dear Xsane,
On two different PCs running Ubuntu 7.0.4, Xsane does not start the
Canon LIDE30 scanner. Xsane 0.991 reports N124U/LiDE30-002 on the title;
it scans a black image but the scanner does not light up or move the
lamp.
I have tried two scanners with no luck. Kernel version is
2.6.20-15-124-386.
As a new Linux user I do not possess the knowledge to fix this problem.
If you can help this would be great.
Regards
