I am using the same scanner, and I have given up using it on USB2 - all works in USB1.1., only pretty slow. So I have bought a Firewire cable, and it runs great and fast now. I am using the sane-backens-1.0.17 and xsane-0.991. I have some issues on negative-scanning - somehow odd colors. The autoenhance function is certainely not enough. I have read your bug - it sounds like my problems with the USB2, and yes - they changed the USB-thing from kernel 2.4 to 2.6. Epson writes, that with this series of scanners, you risks problem connecting it through a hub! -- mvh Mogens J?ger
