[wellylug] Xsane no longer recognising scanner

[Cliff Pratt]

Um. While it is nice that it is fixed, the question arises, how did it
happen in the first place? Unless you know how it happened, how can you
be sure that it won't happen again? It certainly isn't usual for devices
to 'disappear'.

Cheers,

Cliff
