Re: Canon LIDE 120 scanner - should I expect this never to work?

Hi,

I've experienced similar issues with an old CanonScan.
It worked until Fedora 19, but not in Fedora 20.
I've tried with:
simple-scan
xsane
gimp + sane plugin
command line: scanimage -d plustek ...
The last one returned an I/O error. Just to make sure it's not a
scanner problem, I've asked a collegue of mine (which runs a fedora
19) to test it and it worked.

I hope that Fedora 21 (that I'm going to install in the next few days)
can bring it back to life.

Best,

-- Marco
