But I have no idea what the "Invalid argument" actually is. I assume that an libusb call fails but I have no idea which call fails and why it fails. Perhaps "dmesg" shows something regarding USB at that time? Perhaps you get more meaningful messages when you do the "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" as described at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2 i.e. do something like (see man sane-usb): ----------------------------------------------------------------- export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=4 export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=7 export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=128 scanimage -d avision:libusb:xxx:yyy -T && echo OK || echo FAILED ----------------------------------------------------------------- Some background information: Usually when a scanner driver for SCSI and USB scanners starts, it scans the SCSI bus and the USB to find matching scanners. Because you have a USB scanner, there are the SCSI failures. To avoid the useless SCSI scan in your case, it should help to specify only you exact model in your driver's config file, see "man sane-avision", e.g. have in /etc/sane.d/avision.conf an active line like usb 0x03f0 0x0701 Preferably do the above described "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)" with such a line in /etc/sane.d/avision.conf to avoid tons of meaningless messages when the whole SCSI bus and USB is scanned only to find your scanner. By the way: What is in your /etc/sane.d/avision.conf? My default one has no active line (which usually means the driver does autoprobing of the SCSI bus and USB). But I don't have a scanner to test this driver myself. -- 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.
