Could someone look into adding a better message for this case. People<br>
with just the wrong amount of Unix experience will inevitably fall for<br>
this...<br>
<p>
One possibility is that we could stop referring to SANE "devices", since<br>
they are similar-to but not the-same-as Unix devices - and instead call<br>
them SOURCES or something?<br>
<p>
Otherwise we could alter this message to check for Invalid argument and<br>
print an additional line...<br>
<p>
"You must correctly specify a SANE device. To see a list of the SANE<br>
devices detected on this system type scanimage -L"<br>
