The default is 120 seconds. That's not enough for one single SCSI command? What is the scanner doing during that time? You can also change the SCSI timeout by setting the environment variable "SANE_SCSICMD_TIMEOUT=720". If it worked before and if it's neither a sane-backends nor a kernel issue the only reminaing source can be the hardware. Does the scanner really work with other operating systems? Have you changed the SCSI cable? Concerning testing kernels: Also try older kernels (e.g. 2.4.21). If there were a bug in e.g. 2.6.4 it may have been backported to later 2.4.*. Bye, Henning
