Title:
Loss of functionality with scanners
Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
In 10.04 LTS my scanner worked fine ... I used XSANE and SIMPLE-SCAN .
I upgraded to 10.10 and things still worked. I upgraded to 11.04 and
all scanner functions died. I keep getting "Error during read: Error
during device I/O". After posting a bug against 11.04 and trying a
variety of things I expected it to get fixed or at least acknowledged.
I did get some help from some forum users but to no avail. With 11.10
I again expected things to get fixed ... if not by my report then
someone else's ... I did notice others had posted the same question.
No such luck ... 11.10 is just as broken.
I loaded 10.04.3 on my test machine and tried things again .... I
needed some assurance the scanner still worked. As expected, all
worked great. Now the question is how do I get scanner support for
11.10 ... Previous tries were badly unsuccessful. I am looking for
the old bug number but don't have it at the moment. I have the same
problem with XSANE and SIMPLE-SCAN.
Guidance is appreciated.
