Nope, the scanner is the only device.

Ok, I can try another computer, I guess. I tried Knoppix CD just now and I got the same I/O errors. I'd rather buy a new scanner than install Windows on my desktop machine ;) I have used this scanner on Windows in the past, without problem -- but just not on this machine. It's a MSI K7T266 Pro2 motherboard. Maybe I could throw in a new hard disk and install Windows. It would be too bad if it's a motherboard. Seems unlikely, though. If I were able to test the the hardware and find out it's ok, then where should I focus my debugging? Is the usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout message generated in the scanner module? And is that what is causing the front-end X apps to report the "I/O" error? I wonder if I could get the scanner module to tell more about what's timing out. I assume the scanner module talks to the usb module to get out to the device. It seems odd to me that one X frontend works yet the other fails with an I/O error. I don't know the Sane API but I assumed that the all apps would see the same problem using the same API. A lot of work to just scan a few images of the kids! Thanks for your time. I'll post again if I can figure anything out. -- Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org
