SUMMARY Until not too long ago my Canon LIDE 30 scanner worked with the KDE scanning applications, e.g. Skanlite. Since some time, I think since I upgraded my distro to OpenSUSE 15.0 it works only very rarely. I have to plug it in and out and in again, and sometimes it does scan. Otherwise it moves a bit, and afterwards it only produces black images without actually doing anything. Using "SimpleScan" it works a bit more often than using Skanlite, but also only sporadically. I tried the commercial VueScan application, and using this scanning works. I know this is probably not Skanlite's fault, but I have no idea in which part of the software stack I have to start searching the problem. Since it worked earlier, I'd hope I could figure out what changes made it not work anymore. Can you give me some pointers ? Thanks Alex
Hi, Sorry for the late answer. This is with, I would estimate, 99% probability a bug in the sane-backend. This is the address to report issues: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/issues Thanks for the report, Kåre
