Re: [Hp5400backend-devel] Trouble with driver: Segmentation fault

[Thomas S. <tho...@co...>]

The problem of having twice the scanner as available could be due to a doub=
le=20
declaration in hp5400.conf or a=20
Check that the hp5400.conf does not declare twice the scanner or that there=
 is=20
only one version of hp5400.conf on your computer.
I never saw this problem and I can't think of any problem that could be cau=
sed=20
by that.


The problem of xsane 0.84 is probably that it could not talk with=20
sane-backends-1.0.12 but with an older version.
