Hi,

I'm using an up-to-date Jaunty and have experienced the above problem
ever since switching to Linux.

However today I thought I'd try again.

Initially I had the same problems: Xsane identified the scanner but
would stall at about 25% and freeze.

I read through many of the older posts here and tried a couple of
things.

* I added myself (as a user) to the saned group. 
* I installed gnome-scan to try something different (it worked to a fashion but 
would crash often so I removed it).
* I used the sane-utils package to test for correct scanner detection
* I then rebooted (with the scanner connected and powered) and retried xsane 
but adjusted the resolution from 150dpi to 300dpi.

Subsequently scanning worked. I scanned multiple pages and saved as both
png and pdf.

Work that one out...
