Hi,

I'm running Slackware 11.0 and I am not able to use XSane.

The problem is:

$ xsane
lp: Operation not permitted
parport_pc: Operation not permitted
Segmentation fault

I've tried to solve this issue and I think I am close.  But now I need 
help from you.

$ scanimage --version
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18; backend version 1.0.18
Only as root, I can:
# scanimage -L
device `epson:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Epson CC-570L flatbed scanner

The ids are ok:
# cat /etc/sane.d/epson.conf | grep -v '^#'
usb 0x4b8 0x802
usb /dev/usb/scanner0

If I type:
$ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0
P4
# SANE data follows
632 877

everything is okay.  I can scan papers from command line like, for 
example: $ scanimage -d epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 --resolution 300 > 
image.tiff

But if I omit the -d option:
$ scanimage --resolution 300 > image.tiff
lp: Operation not permitted
parport_pc: Operation not permitted
Segmentation fault

The error I get seems the same as the one above mentioned when I try xsane.

So, logic tells me that I should pass some parameter to xsane in order 
for this to work.  How can I do it? Or, what else should I do to solve 
this issue?

Luis
