I thought "scanimage -d... -T" is the right way to do a test?

I use it in the YaST scanner config tool to provide a [Test] option
for the user to test if his scanner/backend combination works.

Should I better use "scanimage -d... >/dev/null" for a test?

Isn't "/dev/usb/scanner0" outdated (perhaps not for Slackware 10)
because nowadays it is usually a libusb device like 
"<backend>:libusb:<bus-number>:<device-number>"?

For "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" you may have a look at
