Oliver, You asked: >Can anybody with an Epson Perfection 660 / Perfection 2480 /=20 >Perfection 2580 confirm those problems? On November 9, 2004, I posted a message to sane-devel reporting timeout problems with a Perfection 2480 on a USB 2.0 port. We then exchanged a few messages. It sounds to me like the same sort of problem. Eric
