I have the same problem, now in Ubuntu 13.10, with my CanoScan LIDE 100 In previous versions of ubuntu (say 12.10 or before), the scanner used to work reasonably well with "Simple Scan' but would jam in xsane. Now in 13.10 it gets stuck in the middle of the scan and the header won't return to the starting position. Makes strange noises.
Booting the system in 'Windows' would reset the scanner head to starting position. It works fantastic in Windows and never gives a problem. But if I try to scan anything in ubuntu again, the scanner is bound to get stuck. ** Also affects: sane-frontends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40682 Title: My scanner, a Canon CanoScan LIDE 20, makes grinding noise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-frontends/+bug/40682/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
