Proprietary is not a problem, I sometimes buy software I need.

Installed as you suggested, unfortunately Vuescan doesn't find the 
scanner either. It looks like I'll have to try the old HP scanner which 
always worked, it's just a little larger and does not run from the USB 
power like this cannon.

Aha, I wentback and tried Vuescan as root and that works, xsane does 
not! I think I prefer to stick with Xsane if I can so I will inquire on 
the "Sane" mailing list next, I just resubscribed to it earlier this 
morning. Knowing that my equipment is still working is a big help I 
suspect a recent update has changed something that went unnoticed until 
now. I probably haven't tried to scan anything in a week or more ...

As I said I have two updated F-23 computers and neither will scan.

Thank you for the help,

Bob
