Meanwhile I have installed the zesty amd64 version on my desktop. As expected the result was the same as with xenial, i.e. scanning worked but it was rather noisy. As a workaround I installed the trusty packages of xsane, libsane and other dependencies. This version worked for the i386 and amd64 versions of zesty without I/O errors or increased noise.
** Description changed: If I try to scan with xsane or skanlite there is often an error message like "Error during device I/O". If that error message appears, I have to replug the scanner to make it working again. There are several symptom which are not always the same: Sometimes only preview doesn't work, sometimes scanning doesn't work. Sometimes scanning with 75 dpi / color results in a corrupted image with vertical coloured lines while scanning the same text printout with 600 dpi results in a normal output. Often the scanner is very noisy compared to the sound I am used to from scanning with the trusty release. - WORKAROUND: Using the amd64 version on the same machine works, but the - scanner is quite noisy compared to the sound I am used to from the - trusty release. + Using the amd64 version on the same machine works, but the scanner is + quite noisy compared to the sound I am used to from the trusty release. + + As a workaround the trusty packages can be used to avoid the problem.
