That's looking good - also http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=&model=&bus=any&v=04b8&p=0112 shows the scanner as fully supported. Beyond that the news isn't so good I'm afraid, you've passed all the hurdles (sane communicates with scanner and identifies model correctly). Possibilities I can see: * kernel problem * strange system config problem (not likely) * bug in sane * hardware issue No suggestions from me except for the last: pull out all(!) USB devices, then plug only the scanner back in. I have a flatbed scanner which effectively disables the adjacent USB connection (probably by sucking too much power). USB connectors always come in pairs from the mobo, the "adjacent" one is the other one of the pair. Also file a bug report with ubuntu, wait and hope (it's very likely an ubuntu-specific problem).
