Russ,

from a certain point on (line 679 in the debug output), many SCSI
commands sent to the scanner return an error: "host status: 0004". A
non-zero host status means that something is wrong with the SCSI adapter
or with the driver of the adapter. A quick look into the advansys driver
gave me the impression that the driver returns this error as a sort of
generic failure indication (though I wouldn't claim to be a kernal
hacker). Perhaps /var/log/messages contains some details about the
problem.
