Thsnk you for your quick response.

Did as you suggested but still get the error message: Error. Failed to open
device snapscan:libusb:002:003: Error during device I/O

lusb confirms that the scanner is Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04a5:20b0 Acer
Peripherals Inc. (now BenQ Corp.) A2W 3300U4300U.

Trying to scan through the Gimp plugin Quite insane returns the same error.

Any further suggestions, please?
