[sane-devel] "sane_read: Device busy" with Canon PIXMA MX310 and sane 1.0.20-4ubuntu3

[Rogier Eggers]

Hello,

My scanner has trouble scanning multiple pages with the ADF. The second
consecutive page with scanimage always gives me the following error:

scanimage: sane_read: Device busy
Scanned page 2. (scanner status = 3)

This happens with all sane interfaces/programs that I have installed (xsane,
scanimage from command line and gscn2pdf with all included frontends).
Interestingly, there is no problem with scanning one page at a time (or
scanning with the Flatbed). Documents do not get stuck in the scanner as I
can issue the exact same command again and the next page (first page of that
batch) will scan properly again.

It used to work several months ago. Help very much appreciated!

Earlier, I had a conversation on the gscan2pdf-help mailing list as I first
experienced the problem with that program, but understandably I was referred
to this list. See thread here:
