Can anyone explain this?: My scanner, a Umax Astra 610S, initially shows up fine with sane-find-scanner and 'scanimage --list-devices' (as umax:/dev/sg3), but when I try to scan from it, the program gives up after a minute or two with an I/O error, and the scanner no longer shows up with any of the aforementioned tools! I have to restart the system (and sometimes cycle the power on the scanner too) before I can see it again.
Everything works fine on the Mac OS side, so I know the hardware is alright. Is there anything particular to check into, or should I try on the SANE list for driver help. I've searched and found a number of people successfully using this model of scanner with SANE, with no problem reports whatsoever. Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks!
