Hi Everyone, I tried to use the new sane-backend from the Robert Ancell PPA as described in the [ubuntuforums post](http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10526638&postcount=31).
According to that post, I should be able to scan with my Canon LiDE 200 using the `sudo simple-scan` command. The first attempt to scan after attaching the scanner to the computer (Apple iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, Ubuntu 10.10 32-Bit) yields some sounds from the motor of the scanner, but the scanner head barely moves. The terminal I launched simple-scan from displays the following message: ** (simple-scan:4209): WARNING **: Unable to start device: Error during device I/O When I started another scan, it would do nothing and just block the program for a while. Today, I tried the same on another computer (Asus Eee, Intel Atom, Ubuntu 10.10 32-Bit), and I managed to scan one single page without any errors. After that, simple-scan showed the message. I attached the `simple-scan -d` output of a first and a subsequent scan. If there is anything else I can do to diagnose the problem, please let me know. How can I get my scanner to work on either computer? Regards, Martin -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
