New information from Janos I did a diff on kernel configurations between 3.8.0-29 and -31 and found minimal, non-essential differences. Scanner works on -29 in ubuntu environment, but does not work on -31 in xubuntu environment. Scanner also works on different hardware (my Acer laptop) even on -31 xubuntu.
My conclusion is that scanner problem is not related to kernel but to distribution itself (xubuntu going from 12.04 to 13.04). I suggest to go back to my initial report where sane finds the scanner, but scanimage thinks it is busy. I'm ready to give up on this bug. xubuntu is a good compliment to my linux experience. I can continue to play with my old, hacked and mangled FC3 installation where the scanner works and my color lexmark printer also works. On the other hand, xubuntu could make my new HP P 1102W printer work that I was unable to accomplish so far in FC3. But xubuntu cannot make the lexmark printer and the scanner work. That's OK, I'll use both linux installations, depending on what I need. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184165 Title: 03f0:1205 Scanner does not work: Simple scan gives a device busy error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1184165/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
