Maybe this link is interesting: http://www.nabble.com/scanimage--L -crashes-with-HP-ScanJet-4100c-td14826162.html Especially the following quotes:
"Maybe the ScanJet 4100 is a little bit too slow in answering and it does not deliver the expected answers in time. I will see if I can find a workaround. " "in case of the failure no data was received from the scanner. The backend then retries to read the requested data again after waiting 0.1 seconds. You can try to increase the number of retries to see if this helps: export SANE_HP_RDREDO=20 xsane hp This will do 20 retries (2 seconds in total) before giving up. Please try if at least the xsane-GUI comes up. Maybe you then will run into an I/O-error during scanning." "Seems to me that the hp-backend can do a workaround, but not worth for daily use. Could be that the HP ScanJet 4100 C is a little bit problematic concerning USB in certain environments. BTW, did you try to connect the scanner directly to an USB-connector on the back of the PC ? " I personally tried to connect the scanner directly to an USB-connector on my PC (instead of through the USB-hub on my screen) and I could scan again. Unfortunately it only worked once :-(. -- scanimage -L crashes with HP ScanJet 4100c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
