This is with OS 5.12 and Epson Perfection 1660 photo. I thought for a while this old problem had been solved, but, alas, not so. Today I have had when scanning or attempting to scan: 1) "Scanner not yet found", after the computer had been on for about 2 hours. 2) I then shut down completely, restarted, and attempted to scan; the computer locked solid and needed the reset button to unlock it. 3) With the third attempt, USBKick got the scanner going without problems. 4) Now, nearly 4 hours later, scanning still works OK. Is this still a problem for others, or is it something in my setup? Should I perhaps use USBKick before any attempt at scanning? TIA, With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.
