Samsung SCX-4600 ID 04e8:3433 suffers from this issue too. It worked fine on Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10. 17.10 seems to have caused it.
Simple Scan doesn't find the scanner anymore. Xsane finds it. Sometimes it doesn't. When it does find it, it fails to scan with "Failed to start scanner:Error during device I/O" Scanimage finds it and works. (It does crash with a segmentation fault trying `scanimage --test` but that might be a separate issue?) I think the fix might be #80. But I don't have most ot the files listed: - I don't have `/usr/lib/sane` directory at all. - My `/etc/udev/rules.d` is empty. Any pointers or tips are appreciated.
