Hi, I've been using my Fujitsu M3091DCd scanner with Debian and Ubuntu for quite a while (> five years).
Today, I installed a completely fresh Debian Sqeeze 6.0.3 on the same (!) AMD64 hardware but the scanner doesn't work any more. What I get: user at alpha:~$ scanadf -L device `fujitsu:/dev/sg1' is a FUJITSU M3091DCd scanner device `epson2:/dev/sg2' is a Epson generic flatbed scanner user at alpha:~$ scanadf -d 'fujitsu:/dev/sg1' scanadf: sane_start: Invalid argument Invalid argument Scanned 0 pages I tried to omit the quotes, or start scanadf without any argument, too. scanimage fails, too: user at alpha:~$ scanimage --device=fujitsu:/dev/sg1 -b Scanning -1 pages, incrementing by 1, numbering from 1 Scanning page 1 scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument user at alpha:~$ scanimage -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v -v --device=fujitsu:/dev/sg1 -T scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument Closing device Calling sane_exit scanimage: finished What's the invalid argument? Could scanadf/scanimage a bit more specific? Any graphical application (gscan2pdf, xsane, Simple Scan) fails, too. What works: user at alpha:~$ scanimage --device=epson:/dev/sg2 -T scanimage: scanning image of size 424x585 pixels at 1 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring gray frame, 1 bits/sample scanimage: reading one scanline, 53 bytes...
