I have been following this thread since I have an acer (Benq or prisa)
U340 scanner that worked good when I first installed 9.1 and 9.0, but
required some tweaking under ver 8.2,8.1 and 8.0, and would not work
with a 2.2 series kernel. it also uses the snapscan backend. and my
problems are the same symptoms after reading this I got to thinking
maybe one of my sane (front or back ends) might not be installed, so I
urpmi sane-backends, (everything installed), urpmi sane-frontends
downloaded and installed, (damn go figure) so I start up the icon on the
desktop for my scanner, about 5 mins (not an exagaration on a dual cpu
p3 1g) goes by, and it gives me the choice to choose between my tv card
and the usb scanner, choosing the scanner just gives me an error about 
invalid argument.

running; [EMAIL PROTECTED] et]# sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5, product=0x2022) at /dev/usb/scanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a5 [Color], product=0x2022 [
FlatbedScanner 13]) at libusb:001:003
  # A USB device was detected. This program can't be sure if it's really
  # a scanner. If it is your scanner, it may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports

ok this looks normal to me, so I try scanimage -L (long hang more than 2
min)

scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878(Hauppauge (bt878)) virtual
device
device `snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0' is a Acer FlatbedScanner13 flatbed
scanner

ok looks good

I wonder where to try next.
