Hi, I have updated my sources from the CVS and installed the genesys-new backend. The result is as follows:
$sane-find-scanner ... found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9 [Canon], product=0x2213 [CanoScan], chip=GL841) at libusb:004:019 ... $ scanimage -d genesys ...

Looks like the free is freeing some uninitialised pointer. When I commented out that line (just to see what happens), it passed through. Then I got complete scanimage program run, but without actual scanning. There were I/O problems, however different than the last time - no timeout, but normal error. How should I know what error it is? The errors were: ... [genesys] genesys_low_bulk_write_register (size = 0) [genesys] genesys_low_bulk_write_register: failed while writing bulk data: Error during device I/O [genesys] genesys_white_shading_calibration: failed to bulk write registers: Error during device I/O [genesys] genesys_flatbed_calibration: failed to do white shading calibration: Error during device I/O [genesys] genesys_start_scan: failed to do flatbed calibration: Error during device I/O scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O [genesys] sane_cancel: start [genesys] gl841_end_scan (check_stop = 1) [genesys] genesys_low_write_register (0x01, 0x00) completed [genesys] genesys_low_read_register (0x41, 0x5c) completed [genesys] genesys_low_read_register (0x41, 0x5c) completed ...
