    Angry [SOLVED] Upgrade to 10.10, and unable to use SCSI scanner

    Hi,

    Back in Ubuntu 10.04 my SCSI scanner (HP Scanjet 5p) was working perfectly. I just upgraded the system, and I'm totally unable to make it work.

    Here's what I get from the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo sane-find-scanner
    # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
    # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
    # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
    
    found SCSI processor "HP C5110A 3701" at /dev/sg4
    # Your SCSI scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by SANE. Try
    # scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x0ac8 [V Micro. Corp.], product=0x0302 [PC Camera]) at libusb:004:002
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x1608 [Digi International], product=0x0240 [Edgeport/1]) at libusb:002:002
    # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
    # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    
    # Not checking for parallel port scanners.
    
    # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
    # can't be detected by this program.

    So the scanner is located. Now I grant permissions (in case that would be the problem):
    Code:
    sudo chmod o=+rw /dev/sg4
    And I test the scanner:
    Code:
    scanimage -L
    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).
    If I lauch xsane or Simple Scan utility, the result is the same... NO SCANNER IS BEING FOUND...

    Any help???
    Thanks in advance!
