Yes, I tried it as route and both F-23 desktop boxes, USB 2 and 3
ports, checked that the following had been done [from my notes]:

I am beginning to think the scanner has failed. I bought it new and
it has lived an easy life, little used, however stuff does fail ...
It has always just worked!
I think I will try the xsane list, assuming it still exists, before I
give up. I have a similar HP scanner I can try if I can find the wall
wart for it,
Thank you for your response,

Bob, check Vuescan from
hamrick.com
(
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/canon_n1240u.html). It's the only
proprietary software I use, but you don't have to pay in order to test
you device. At least you can see if the scanner is broken.
