Actually, since this is a genesys device, it may be that the motor settings have changed as the genesys backend of SANE was rewritten in C++. One or two machines have had problems with motor tables from this new version exhibiting just this problem: the motor just buzzes without moving. If you are using a recent SANE, then this *could* be the issue. If so, then we would have to change the motor settings for this machine. Cheers, Ralph
