[sane-devel] Occasionally it works

[m. allan noah]

there are a couple of similar bug reports in the tracker, and recent
threads on this mailing list, and i have one that does this as well.
it seems that these scanners have a very buggy usb 1.0 interface, and
only work properly on some machines. mine works fine on SCSI. if you
must use usb, i think a new scanner is in order.

btw- Xsane is not SANE, its a front-end program. SANE is a separate
packages of drivers (backends) which will have a version number more
like 1.0.19
