Hi Clugers, I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers here. Using Ubuntu 9.04. Xsane has worked perfectly until today when I went to scan some photos. version 0.995
Error message Failed to start scanner Invalid argument lsusb shows ch...@helen:~$ sudo lsusb [sudo] password for chris: Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04b8:0107 Seiko Epson Corp.

Then tried the following, which worked the scanner. ch...@helen:~$ sudo strace -o strace.out -f scanimage -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...
