Followup.

1)  I installed the scanner on a native Fedora 26 machine
     and it worked.  Well, no so well, but that is the
     design of the scanner.  So my issues are software
     related and my old scanner was never defective.

2)  I sent the scanner back.  I will not do a "preview" as
     it is missing that part in the firmware.  It also is
     slower than hell.  I presume this is because it is
     USB2 bus powered.  Windows users complain a lot
     about these issues too.  The scanner is just too cheap.

So poop.  Now I get to figure out why my scanner takes EIGHT
scans every time I ask for one.  xscan is cumbersome to
use at its best.  I may switch to Simple Scan for most of
everything.  I get tired of having to fix stuff all the
time, but it is my job, so I should quit bitching and
be glad I have a job ...
