Unable to scan

Hi all,

I don't use Linux too much, just to scan with my Deskjet 1050. However, today I tried to scan and found that it couldn't find my scanner. I can certainly see it in Printer prefs.

I thought I used xsane, but didn't see it in the menu for some reason. (I also have Simple Scan installed, but I don't think I ever used it). Re-installed xsane, but when I start it, it complains it can't find the scanner.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS MATE 1.12.1 kernel 4.4.8-cyrus-1b ppc64

Thanks.

Never mind - I unplugged and re-plugged my scanner, now it works fine.
