Hello,
I see that the awful noise and partial scan issues with scanners
using the Plustek backend have been discussed in sane-devel, but
the solution to the problem is unclear to me.
I am using an HP ScanJet 2200c flatbed. It uses the plustek backend.
This scanner used to work just fine with earlier versions of Linux.
However, I am encountering issues with Fedora Core 5 and Kubuntu 7.10.
Here is the Kubuntu configuration:
. libusb:
$ dpkg -l | grep libusb
ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-7 userspace USB programming library
ii libusb-dev 2:0.1.12-7 userspace USB programming library developmen
. sane:
$ dpkg -l | grep sane
ii libsane 1.0.19~cvs20070505-3ubuntu2 API library for scanners
ii sane-utils 1.0.19~cvs20070505-3ubuntu2 API library for scanners
-- utilities
ii xsane 0.99+0.991-3ubuntu5 GTK+-based X11 frontend
for SANE (Scanner Ac
ii xsane-common 0.99+0.991-3ubuntu5 GTK+-based X11 frontend
for SANE (Scanner Ac
. Kernel: 2.6.22-14-generic, 32 bit
The plustek shared library has the version 1.0.18:
$ ls -l | grep plustek

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 197740 2007-10-05 20:56 libsane-plustek.so.1.0.18.orig
I've tried building and using the latest plustek backend from the CVS
source snapshot, but the problem persists. (The .orig files came
with Kubuntu 7.10. The non .orig files are built from the CVS
snapshot. Both exhibit the same problems.)
Symptoms:
. Preview scan in xsane scans the whole page. However, full scan
(with or without a previous preview) scans a portion.
. The scan head stops part way during the full scan and starts making
an awful noise.
. The noise can be stopped by removing the power plug.
. Alternatively, the noise can be stopped by running scanimage -L
one or more times.
. A further scan without stopping the noise results in a message
that the scan was canceled even though I did not cancel the scan.

scanimage -L output:
device `plustek:libusb:001:011' is a Hewlett-Packard Scanjet 2200c flatbed
scanner
The same hardware setup works perfectly with Windows XP.
I have an HP DeskJet D2360 USB printer.
In any case, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how
to get the scanner to work.
Thank you.
