my system is a brand new opensuse-10.3 (amd64). I have a problem with my scanner (Canon N670U), its impossible to scan something with it. It has been recognized correctly and the correct driver (plustek) is configured. Nothing works, scanimage -T, xsane, and much more, i tried them all, its always the same. The scanner tries to start up with a horrible sound and I have to pull the usb-plug to stop it.
Did read a lot, many have the same problem, but no one can offer a solution to it. Did also try to disable the usb suspend function in the kernel, without success, did reinstall, downgrade and upgrade sane, xsane and more, no way.
Does anybody out there have a solution?
I don't have a solution, but I have exactly the same problem! This scanner worked flawlessly with SuSE 9.2, but stopped working with the symptoms you describe with 10.0. I even reported on this list at the time but no solutions were forthcoming. I would reboot back to 9.2 to use the scanner. When I installed 10.1 I figured it would solve the problem and so over-wrote my 9.2 install. Alas, the problem was still there but now I can't go back to 9.2 (easily). The problem lives in 10.2 and 10.3 too. Bummer. The problem has persisted through a total computer replacement and both 32 and 64 bit versions of OpenSuSE. This has to be something going on with the kernel and the USB drivers. The sound the scanner makes is a loud buzz that sounds like the scan-bar stepper motor going back and forth and is of a quality that you know will break something unless you snatch the USB connector out. I tried replacing the scanner with a Canon LiDE 70, only to find that Linux (Sane) doesn't support that model at all! Kooka doesn't work either. Maybe it's time for an Epson scanner?
