Sorry, still new to this. I'm using Mint 17.2 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04. The problem I am having is with my Cannon LIDE 110 scanner. Linux Hardware reference states there is no issues with this scanner, but I am having one.

When I use Simple Scan, Xsane or Skanlite software, they all will scan first time no problem, but when I close the software and re-open later on, none of them can find the scanner anymore, so I thought since I can't seem to find out how to fix this, maybe before I open the software, I could use some type of wake up cmd in the terminal, if that is possible, and then open the scanner software and scan again.

Right now the only option I have is to remove the scanner usb cable and re-insert it again. Most of the time that is enough for the scanning software to detect the scanner again. This scanner works fine in Win7 but not in my Linux machine. I've tried a power usb hub, changed to different usb ports and updated to latest kernel but none of that worked. If I type "lsusb" in the Linux terminal, it displays that the scanner is there, so somewhat confused about it all.

NAME

       seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze

SYNOPSIS

       seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...

DESCRIPTION

       Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages.  Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.

       If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload.  During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.

       An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.

OPTIONS

       -b, --binary
	      The  packages  specified	are  binary packages.  This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
	      binary packages that every specified source package builds.

       -u URL, --data-url=URL
	      URL for index of seeded packages.  Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.

       -h, --help
	      Display a help message and exit

EXAMPLES

       All the images that contain unity:
