Use "Get Preview", and xsane places a rectangular frame around what it thinks is the relevant portion in the preview image. The user can drag the sides of this frame to what he prefers. "Scan" then captures just the area defined by this frame. Every subsequent scan will use this frame, until

Your udev rules file has no entry for your scanner. Recall that sane-find-scanner reported: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x190f [CanoScan]) There should be a udev rule for that device (i.e. one that matches the vendor and product codes reported by sane-find-scanner). For

I doubt a gigabit Ethernet connection will make any significant difference. Data rate from your scanner is dependent on the mechanical speed of the sensor and scan resolution. If you scan a page 8.5 by 11 inches at 600 pixels per inch resolution with 24 bits per pixel, there is about 100

"Timed wait" is the final stage when a TCP connection is closed. TCP has the notion of "maximum segment lifetime" - how long a datagram might remain somewhere in the network. Before a connection is completely closed, it remains in the "timed wait" state for twice this maximum segment lifetime.

Summary: you have four USB scanners; plug them in, and SANE can access any one of them successfully, but then cannot access any of the three other scanners. If you unplug one scanner, then plug it in again, can SANE then use that scanner? This action should re-create the device's data structures
