Coming back to this over half a year later. I found a number of reports today regarding scanner problems with Sane and USB3, followed the suggestions of disabling USB3 in my BIOS and lo and behold, I was immediately able to scan two pages (not yet tried more) without any trouble. Running "scanimage --test" now also works. $ apt-cache policy libsane libsane: Installed: 1.0.25-git20150121-utopic0 [...] Ditto for sane-utils. Anything I can do to help move this along? I do have some programming skills, including basic understanding of the USB protocol and Linux's usb_device sub-system, though I am chronically short of time (aren't we all?) -- sane-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to [email protected]
