I hope this is the right place for this question. I am running Mandrake Freq August 10, 2001. I've got an Epson 1200U. I downloaded the latest front and backends and compiled with no errors. I shut down and restarted. When I started xsane, it found my scanner and let me do a preview. When I tried to finish the scan, it hung about half way through. Where it hangs varies. I was scanning at 600 dpi a 35 meg file onto a vfat partition. I shut the computer down and restarted. I was able to scan about 10 pictures. Then it hung again. Now when I restart it will sometimes hang during the preview, sometimes hang during the final scan. I've got a gig free on the /tmp drive and 15 gigs free on the target drive. I've run into the same problems as root and as an everyday user. Sometimes I can scan 20 or 30 photos with no problems, and others I can't scan at all no matter what I do. Once it hangs, I've never been able to get it back. I've tried stopping and restarting the usb and usbd services. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows the scanner there whether it is hung or not.
Scanning under windows works, but the scans simply aren't as nice and the autoincrement feature is great. Any ideas of what to check? Thanks, Bob
