I have this same problem in 9.10 with both a CanoScan LIDE 70 (not supported) and a Nikon LS-50 (supported). This can be replicated with the scanimage command line tool.
Not sure if its related or not... but I also have a USB webcam (MS LifeCam Cinema) which seems to be recognized by SANE (as v4l). I doubt that it should be recognized by SANE, but maybe there are other SANE uses? I'll try disconnecting the webcam, retrying the LS-50 (since LIDE 70 is unsupported), and will report back findings. Agreed that sudo does not change anything. -- failed to start scanner: Invalid argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
