Hi all, I have a real problem wih may scanner. The hardware is listed below: P120 Chip with 160Meg Ram, Adaptec SCSI-2 card model AVA-2904 HP5p SCSI scanner. The machine is networked and provides print and scanner services to my home network using Mandrake 8 on each network machine. The scanner is perfectly fine when scanning in grey mode, but fails with an I/O error when attempting color scans. I have included the output from scanimage in test mode and also the dmesg output for the scsi card. The scanning software is SANE 1.0.4 and using the SANE-hp backend. I prefer to use scanimage from the command line so as to incorporate the commands in a batch file for quick scan to file turnaround.

Thanks, Dave.
