Hello;<br>
<br>
I have been working all weekend on this problem. At the
beginning, my new scanner wasn't even recognized by Fedora. Now,
it is recognized but I am unable to acquire any images. In all
cases, the scanner seems to perform a full scan, but no image
appears. In the cases of iscan and xsane, the preview window
never sees an image, although the histogram seems to indicate that it
sees an image. At the end of what seems to be a reasonable scan
time - accompanied by lots of mechanical activitiy from the scanner - a
pop-up informs me that there was a read error because the scanner was
busy. scanimage behaves the same, giving this error:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$ scanimage >test.pnm</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">scanimage: sane_read: Device busy</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$</span><br>
<br>
Here's what I get from lsusb:<br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
