Several posts during the last year have reported usb timeout problems--here is another one. I have an Epson 2480, supported by the snapscan backend, version 1.14 from Mandrake 10.1, with kernel 2.6.8.1. The Mandrake snapscan.conf, however was not up to date, so I had to add an entry for the 2480 as well as adding the location of the firmware file, esfw41.bin. Attached is a file with annotated clips of the stderr from running "scanimage" with SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255. The scanner is recognized (indeed, it appears that the process of searching for it and finding it is repeated), and there is some initial activity--two pairs of short motor buzzes. There are 4 warmups: [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 9 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 33 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 9 seconds. [snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 33 seconds. One large data block comes through, but the second request for a big chunk of data fails, as does everything after that. The buzzes come early in the process. During the timeout period, the front-panel LED (on the start button) blinks; there is no external sign other than that (and after the messages about warmups) that the scanner has received any command at all--no sign of actually starting a scan, such as the motor running. A Canoscan N 650U on the same system works flawlessly. My machine is a Thinkpad T41. If anyone would like other hardware/software information, I would be happy to provide it. I can also provide the entire stderr transcript, and any other diagnostic info or test results that might be helpful. I would be interested to know if anyone has successfully used an Epson 2480 or 2580 with a 2.6 kernel. Thanks.
