[sane-devel] Xsane "Failed to open device `umax_pp:/dev/parport0': Error during device I/O.

[Chase James [Roboticon Systems]]

Problem Solved! 
I had an extra port line in the umax_pp.conf file.  I just deleted the 
port /dev/usb/scanner0 line at the end of the conf file.

Thanks stef for your help, you really pointed me in the right direction.
