Alternatively, you can use an external power source for the USB hub. Strange for the scanner to work at all with insufficient amperage, but...

I had this with a different CIS scanner.  In that case the problem was
that the USB socket (an unpowered hub) provided enough power to run the
stepper motor but not the LEDs.  Plugging direct into a PC USB socket
fixed it.

CIS machines don't have separate bulbs, they have a series of tricolor
LEDs that are integrated into the optical module. If the LEDs are not
lighting, I'd guess you have some other problem. What version of
sane-backends are you using?

Hello - Apparently I have the problem named in the subject.  The scanner
works, but I just get a black scan.  Where can I get a bulb?
