     Hello,

     I think the version you use was compiled without tiff support. 
Don't use the --format option, then you'll have a pnm file that you will 
be able to transform to tiff (with ppm2tiff for instance). Check you can 
scan several pages, to see if SANE update fixes your problem.
     Telling what went wrong is hard. It could be from kernel, changing 
form libusb to libusb-1.0 to backend itself. Most probably a libusb 
change is the cause, making the backend exhibit a bug.
