Julien, I haven't had a chance to downgrade libusb/sane further, but I just happened to have a laptop running Ubuntu Hoary at home this morning, and tried that out. I have no idea if this is of any help to you. For completeness:
kernel: 2.6.10-5-686 libusb: 0.1.8-17ubuntu libsane: 1.0.15-4ubuntu I ran the same script as I've done before. The device detection section worked consistently. The image acquisition section worked on the first iteration, then failed on the subsequent four attempts. There's definitely something different going here, in part because the strace logs indicate a single attempt at contacting the scanner, which fails with a timeout, not tons of resource temporarily unavailable messages. This was without libsane-extras installed. I then installed that package and repeated the test. Same result. I should note that the epkowa driver isn't in Ubuntu's libsane-extras. The logs are attached. You had asked if my scanner had firmware; I checked Epson's website and could find no indication of firmware. -- Diab Jerius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
