Hi,

Today I plugged a HP ScanJet 3400 C type C7720A to my PC via USB.  It got
recognized just fine:

 joostvb@bruhat:~% scanimage -L
 device `niash:libusb:002:005' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3400C flatbed 
scanner

However, running "scanimage > t.pnm" gave me an error

 scanimage: open of device niash:libusb:002:005 failed: Device busy

.  After I powercycled the scanner, everything worked just fine.  It took me
some time before I considered doing just that.  I believe changing the
TROUBLESHOOTING section in debian/libsane.README.Debian in the sane-backends
package, to read

 [...]
 or the device pointed to by /dev/scanner.

 If running "scanimage > t.pnm" gives an error like "scanimage: open of device
 niash:libusb:002:005 failed: Device busy", powercycling your scanner might
 help.

 If you encounter any problems with getting your device(s) recognized,
 [...]

would have helped me, and saved me some time.

Thanks!  Bye,

Joost

PS: I've seen similar issue http://bugs.debian.org/598102 .  However, that
one doesn't seem to be applicable: I don't run scanbuttond.
