Bug 460440 – =media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.23 - scanimage prints error message "Failed cupsGetDevices" to standard output

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Guido Flohr 2013-03-05 19:20:18 UTC]

On my new scan server, /usr/bin/scanimage prints the error message or warning "Failed cupsGetDevices" on standard output instead of standard error.  The error message appears even, when running the program as root.  Simple workaround: Delete /etc/sane.d/kodakaio.conf.

The required patch in backend/kodakaio.c, line 2200 is trivial.  See here for more information: http://arch.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410366&aid=313851&group_id=30186

Please note that the problem is not so much the error but the fact that the message is printed to standard output and not to standard error and that causes the image files produced by scanimage to be corrupted.  

Scanning is not printing, I know.  Feel free to move the bug report.
