I still have the same problem in Karmic. I have found a kind of solution, but I'm not sure if it even solves the problem:
I added the module 'usblp' to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf blacklist usblp And added the device to the following udev rules file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules # Brother scanners ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" # Brother DCP-7010 ATTRS{idVendor}=="04f9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0182", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" -- Scanimage/usbfs device IO error with Canon MP700 scanner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
