I've had this scanner working with prerelease code and the final

release for several months, but when I tried scanning something in the

documents; after hitting the "acquire preview" button, the scanner
carriage makes a short moving sound, and then a dialog pops up:
Failed to start scanner: Invalid argument
I also have an LiDE220. I noticed a few weeks ago that xsane was giving
me
the same error. I had no problems with other front ends including
xscanimage, scanimage, and simplescan. About 2 days ago I tried it
again
and xsane worked. I played around a little and it seemed that xsane
worked
if I acquired a preview first, but not otherwise. I don't remember if I
had acquired a preview from a few weeks ago or not.
Tried again just now, and now nothing works: not xsane, not scanimage,
not gscan2pdf. It started running the scanning head down the page in
xsane when I selected 16-bit bit depth, but it threw an "invalid
argument" dialog and the scanning head kept going until it hit the stop
down by the hinge (at which point I unplugged the cable).
It's looking more like the fault is with the backend driver (genesys, in
this case), not the applications.
