Hi all, I hope I'm not rehashing an old story but I hadn't any success after searching the net for a solution.
As a bunch of users reported in various forums and lists a bug that causes the plustek driver to fail with the Canon LiDE 20 scanner was probably introduced in one of the various sane updates. The problem is that after one scan (either pre or normal scan) the CCD sensor is not stopped when reaching the end of the scanning area. The scanner then makes horrible noises and can only be stopped by pulling out the USB plug. Too bad that I need the scanner only 1-2 times a year so that I can't deliver more details about my last working version with the exception that it was the package from SUSE 9.3: sane-1.0.15-12.i586.rpm sane-frontends-1.0.13-3.i586.rpm I experienced this bug (?) today using SANE-Backends-1.0.18 (from packman) and any actions I tried failed. It doesn't seem to matter which front end is used, xscanimage, xscan and kooka, all failed. Re-configuring the scanner after deleting all configuration files also didn't help, neither did any re-installing. In the sane-devel list archive I found a suggestion to use a source snapshot, so I removed my RPMs, downloaded sane-backends-2006-07-23.tar.gz and sane-frontends-2006-07-23.tar.gz from www.sane-project.org/snapshots and compiled them with the same results: the problem is still there :-( Here are some data for you: sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x220d [CanoScan], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:003:003 scanimage -L: device `plustek:libusb:003:003' is a Canon N670U/N676U/LiDE20 USB flatbed scanner scanimage -V: scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.18-cvs; backend version 1.0.18 I'd appreciate any comment, patch or help in order to get my scanner working. If needed I'll donate a LiDE 20 to the developer team, although I'll have to get it from eBay since they are not sold any more (just sent me a private e-mail with a delivery address, preferably in Germany).
