Maybe it is indeed a different problem. I used modprobe -r to unload ehci-hcd, but the scanner still times out with an IO error: [efiring@manini efiring]$ scanimage -L device `snapscan:libusb:002:004' is a EPSON EPSON Scanner1 flatbed scanner [efiring@manini efiring]$ scanimage > junk.pnm [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 9 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 33 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 9 seconds.
