A good day to you, Stijn and Allan and to all !<br>
<br>
Stijn, I really don't fathom myself as a techie. <br>
I just dabble in computin-related-things. At the same time I try to
be thorough ! <br>
"Hartnäckig" is the word ("persistent" in English).<br>
<br>
Good news !!<br>
The ICM error disappeared upon uncheking the 'xsane' 's preference
settings for "Enable color management".<br>
I quit xsane and following Allan's suggestion I backed up and
removed the directory ~/.sane/xsane before embarking in the error
log recoding procedure.<br>
I relaunched xsane and everything worked normally with LiDE 25. Both
simplescan and xscan are back to nomal. I have not tested them yet
with my HP 4400c but I don't expect any itch there.<br>
<br>
I thank you all for your help, particularly Stijn and Allan who put
up with my long "writes" and led me to the solution.<br>
