Just for further clarification,

I tried downloading the sane backends from debian experimental (1.0.27) with no luck.

After download and building from the git repository, and setting SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=0 it works (SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1 does not work).

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction - I think I'm all set to go now.

You might try sane-backends 1.0.27, which includes the following
statement in its release notes:

Note 3: The Linux USB3 workaround which was added in version 1.0.25 is
now disabled by default. If you have difficulty using a scanner which
previously worked, or intermittent scanner availability, try setting
the new environment variable SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1 before starting
your frontend.

TLDR: are there any known issues using a Nikon Coolscan IV ED with
libusb 0.1.12-30 and kernel 4.9.0?

---------------------------------------

I'm trying to get an Coolscan IV ED (LS40) to work with Debian Stretch
(current stable release).

scanimage -L

properly identifies the scanner, however

scanimage > testme.pnm

hangs and eventually errors out due to an i/o error.

I connected this scanner to a laptop running the same software with
the same
results.

I connected the scanner to an older laptop running Debian Jessie
(previous
stable release), and it works fine, and I can also pass along additional
command line arguments for white balance, auto-focus, etc.

I'm guessing something may have changed in libusb and/or the kernel,
which
is preventing communication with this older USB1.1 unit.

Are there any known issues with this setup?
