Re: SANE - trying to get an LIDE 110 working in Debian Squeeze.
Sorry, Paul - I didn't mean to send off list. Here it is on the list where it
ought to have been in the first place.
I ought to have said that I had previously had it working for a year on
Squeeze on my old computer.

I had exactly the same problem. I even downloaded the up-to-date tgz of
sane-genesys from the SANE website, uninstalled the Squeeze package,
installed the SANE package - no help. I fiddled a bit. No good. I fiddled
some more. Gave up.
Bought a new one.
Uninstalled everything. Start again. Still no joy. Decide that that one was
also faulty, and arrange to send it back to Amazon.
Plugged it in again the next week before packing it up, and it worked. :-O
Well, sort of. It is not communicating correctly with my printer (complains
about a missing pipe, or something), and I have to scan as root (and yes, I
am in the scanner group). But at least I can now scan!
Sorry, not much help. But at least you know that you are not alone. ;-(
