@genti (pashol), are you sure it's fixed? I see no evidence of a fix according to history: * https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/commits/master/backend/genesys.c
Also, has anyone successfully worked around the problem? In theory, if we rebuild from 1.0.25 git snapshot, it SHOULD resolve the problem; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompileSaneFromSource (gawd it's dumb why Ubuntu took into 1.0.27 experimental ...)
