Exactly the same problem with my Canon Lide 60, but unfortunately no solution so far. I should say that scanning never really worked 'great', there were some minor issues in the past that I could only scan a limited number of pages (most times only one) until I got 'invalid argument' but however, disconnecting an reconnecting always helped what enabled me to scan at all. For some months now, I directly get 'Invalid argument' the first time I want to scan and I can unplug and plug the usb cable as often as I like, without any effect.
Help is appreciated!
