That's https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=315720&group_id=30186&atid=410366 right? Sorry that didn't work out for you. > As far as the WorkForce DS-1630 is concerned I've read that SANE doesn't > run with USB3 ? and in the french description (easier to read when we > are Frenches) I read that this one is just working with USB-3... SANE does work with USB-3 in a large number of cases but sometimes people run into trouble. This most often happens with old versions of libsane and/or older Linux kernel versions. If the DS-1630 truly only works with USB-3, then you should check the USB ports on your computer first. If those aren't USB-3, there is no point in buying a DS-1630. That said, USB-3 devices should fall back to using USB-2 (e.g. if the computer only has USB-2 ports) and still work but with a possible decrease in data throughput (i.e. your scans will go slower).
