        Did that, still no device found!

        However for the first time ever I ignored the warning not to run
        as root and xsane found the Canon LIDE-110 scanner and copied as
        expected! A permissions problem?

        That was on this computer, box6.

        Box9 showed "sane-backends-drivers-scanners already installed?"

        Box9, as root, found the HP-5370 scanner and copied a page as
        expected.

        As a matter of interest, my installs are from the XFCE spin on a
        flash drive. I then add the applications I want via yum mostly.
        Don't know why this computer was different from the other but I
        may have inadvertently removed something?

        Next to find the permissions problem but this is good progress
        for this early hour when I should be sleeping.

        Thanks much for your expert help.
