I used the scanner again with success... However, not the kind of success one may have hoped for. Lemme explain... First, as a last chance effort, I've switch to debian testing. The scanner just behaves like before : starts working and then big grinding noise. So I've decided to try the old ways : once the grinding noise started, I hit the scanner hard on its face, close to the scanning mechanism. And bingo, it works... I've repeated the procedure three times and it worked each time. I have no idea why it works like that. maybe the scanner is somehow locked when the driver initializes it and when I hit it I just unlock it... Who knows... Now, just to remind you : I've successfully used the driver under windows => it works and it is not broken. Hope it helps.
