Xsane not detecting Lexmark scanner since I moved my computer and set it up again

us flag

I'm using Hirsute Hippo and Lexmark supplies a driver which supports a USB scanner using Xsane. All was well until I moved and reset up the computer. Now Xsane 0.999 cannot detect the scanner. Changed my USB port. Re-downloaded the driver and used Ubuntu software to install it Tried to download Libsane extras but cannot locate the package. GIMP XSane plugin was another suggested solution but cannot find it.

Investigate: `sudo journalctl --since="-5 minutes"` within 4 minutes of reconnecting the scanner. Also, find the device name: `ls -lrt /dev | tail`. Does the device have group `rw`? E.g. `-rw-rw----`?

Seemed to be missing libsum and libsum-dev which I added with Synaptic. Xsane still starts but never gets beyond "Searching for devices" and then I get an error message saying Xsane is not responding.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
