On Fedora Core, it didn't happen "only occasionally" - the slider froze on init with the lamps on and making a screaming noise 100% of the time whenever I tried to scan anything, whether I used scanimage or the GUIs. Unplugging the scanner was the only way to, at least, end the noise. I reported it to sane-devel, but my message was ignored. On Ubuntu the success rate is about 50% (i.e. it jams every other scan) using scanimage only, since XSane simply refuses to scan anything (though the jamming is absent when using the GUIs). I have noticed there are certain operations which appear to drastically reduce the success rate: obtaining a preview-quality scan (never works), scanning with a resolution less than 100dpi (rarely works), scanning a large area (where "large" is close to or greater than 150×250 mm; the larger it is, the smaller are the chances of success), and scanning many images in rapid succession (will quickly fail). Not a single case of jamming was observed in either scenario when using the 1.0.15 backends. Furthermore, using an old Knoppix LiveCD which includes those very backends on the same machine in which Fedora and Ubuntu were tested, the scanner works flawlessly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
