Hi Dennis...

You're welcome :)

I'm glad you got it fixed but could you explain what exactly the problem was and how you fixed it?

Thanks!

I have a external powered USB hub plugged into one of the USB ports in the back of my desktop. This hub is powered by a AC adapter and provides 7 additional USB ports for additional USB hardware. My Brother printer-fax-scanner-copier was plugged into this hub. My printer worked fine but apparently Linux Mint 17 couldn't recognize the scanner when you tried to run any scanner programs in normal. It did recognize the scanner when you used the terminal to open a program. All I did was unplug the scanner from the external hub and plug it into one of the USB ports directly in back of my desktop. All my scanner programs work fine now in normal.
Thanks again for all your help and patience.
Dennis B
