Hi Angler,

This seems very similar to the issue I'm facing with my HP Scanjet 
2200c.  I'm using Kubuntu 9.10/AMD x86 32 bit.  Plustek backend.  My 
scanner gets stuck on the wrong end.  Makes a lot of noise, but does not 
return to the home position.  No image results.  No problem with Windows XP.

Stef has been looking at the logs and helping out (thanks Stef!).

I'm hoping for a solution as well.  My only other option is to buy 
another scanner (which is expensive).  I've purchased a new computer 
with Windows 7.  There is no driver in Windows 7 for Scanjet 2200c.  So, 
continuing to use Windows XP for the scanner is not an option.
