found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x190f [CanoScan],
chip=GL848+) at libusb:001:005
# 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.

-> no devices found

(I know xsane shouldn't normally be run from root - this was just to
eliminate and libusb permission issues.)


I've seen a suggestion that 1.0.26 is required, hence the Fedora
suggestion.  BTW, I tried a "brute-force" Fedora install, but the
dependency hell soon persuaded me of the error of my ways!

Thanks for your suggestion,
Martin
