Now, finally, to the specifics of the problem.
I can start Gimp and select File -> Create:XSane dialog and the XSane
windows appear OK. I can select "Preview" and get a preview scan OK,
but
when "Scan" is selected I get an error "Failed to start scanner: Error
during device IO".

Is the scanner connected to a USB3 (often blue) port? If so, move it to
a USB 2 port. There are some issues with USB3 ports that got fixed
recently in GIT but are not in the Fedora version (nor most likely any
other Linux distro's version)
I have tried both USB2 and USB3, and get the same behaviour.
I might have a look at the latest GIT. I assume it would be the
sane-backends that I should build?
The Fedora packaging ends up as 3 rpms ( sane-backends-drivers-scanners,
sane-backends-libs, sane-backends) which are probably all built from
sane-backends. I'll check the Fedora src.rpms to see how they do it.
I'll come back when I know more, and hopefully others may have seen this
specific behaviour and can point to a solution.
Thanks for your help.
Sorry, I should have replied to the list. That usually happens
automagically.
Cheers,
