Not quite a repeat of my former message under subject 9.3 arrives in UK, scanner setup still broken but about the same problem. I posted lots of info there, which I won't repeat unless someone thinks it might help - I can't use 9.3 on my main workstation until I can get my Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner working with it. It worked with 9.2, after a fight, and historically support (on the identical hardware) was perfect under earlier versions. So there's no physical reason why it wouldn't work. Johannes Meixner has kindly tried to help, but no dice. His feeling is there's a problem with the USB setup somewhere. He also suggested I'd been unfair in saying the scanner setup was broken in 9.3 when it was going well elsewhere, and perhaps that's fair enough. The mainboard is an Intel 845, and has performed flawlessly with the same scanner in the past. Johannes wondered if it might, however, have an imperfect USB 2.0 implementation. I know it's worked fine with a USB 2.0 CF card reader, and that the USB 2.0 setup under 9.3 does correctly report the scanner as a high-speed device, and sees it correctly as an Epson scanner, down to the model number. But it doesn't work ... With the USB 2.0 disabled in the mainboard BIOS (which is the latest) the scanner is again correctly identified, this time as a USB 1.1 device, but it doesn't ... errr ... work. Anyone got any oddness to report in 9.3 USB, or with particular boards? Anyone now any usb tricks to try? Anyone got a happy set up with this scanner or similar model?
