It seems I rushed to a conclusion. I managed to get a preview from xsane and I don't get the error message anymore, but I still can't scan using xsane. Sometimes the preview worksm but mostly not, scanning never works. I get no error messages, getting a preview takes some time and returns a fully black image. Same with scanning, no error message I get the nice progress bar and when it completes I get a black image. No noise from the scanner.
Using scanimage seems to consistently work fine though, I have googled some and searched the sane mailinglists but no luck there. -- [regression] Scanning fails with Canon FB630U in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
