Update: I tried with xsane, and... it still jams. And it hasn't yet jammed under Windows.<br><br>-Fibo<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2006/4/5, Fibonacci Prower <<a href="mailto:fibonacci.prower@gmail.com">fibonacci.prower@gmail.com

apologise in advance for any stupidity I might have made, or detail I<br>might have omitted. That being said, I can proceed:<br><br>I have just installed Fedora Core 5 (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp), and I'm<br>trying to use the CanoScan LiDE20 scanner which, according to
<br><a href="http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html">http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html</a>, is completely supported by<br>SANE. sane-find-scanner detects it, but it jams (with the lamps on)<br>whenever I try to scanimage, and nothing short of unplugging it from
<br>the PC will stop it. I reboot to Windows XP (ahh, the magic of<br>dual-boot), and it scans perfectly well, not jamming at all (which<br>proves that the scanner is working fine).<br>I then reboot to Linux, sane-find-scanner finds it again, and
<br>scanimage makes it jam again. Terminating scanimage gives only a<br>"Trying to stop scanner" message, but the scanner does not stop until<br>I unplug it. Trying to run scanimage again (with the scanner plugged
<br>back in, of course) results in "scanimage: no SANE devices found",<br>even though sane-find-scanner still sees it.<br><br>What can I do about this problem?<br><br>Thank you for your time,<br><br>-Fibonacci<br>
