In trying to get my HP PhotoSmart S20 scanner communicating with VirtualBox (Win 2K guest) I found that the information received by the kernel (2.6.28-13-generic) from the scanner is wildly inconsistent. The vendor # and device # are consistent, but the rest is garbled (HP ?HP PhotoSmart C5101A, HP ?HP oSmart C5101A - S20, HP P, HEW?HEWLETT-PAC, etc) when it should be HP PhotoSmart C5101A - S20. This is on a newly set-up machine running Ubuntu 9.04. The MB is an Asus M3N78-VM. The system appears to communicate with other devices on the USB properly (an HP DeskJet 930C and a ScanDisk card reader).
The data from the scanner received by kernel 2.6.26-2-686 running Debian Lenny on a Lenovo ThinkPad T42 does not suffer this problem. Any ideas would be welcomed. The scanner is a wonderful machine--it worked fine on Win ME on the old MB when I was dual booting.
