[sane-devel] Problems with libusb and Snapscan 1236U (maybe similar to others)

Hello together,

my current system:
Debian unstable (with the corresponding sane packages)
Kernel 2.6.3
Agfa SnapScan 1236U

With my older Kernel 2.4.x and scanner.o everything went fine. After
switching to 2.6.3, xsane and Co. arent able to use the scanner via
libusb.

Some effects:
sane-find-scanner does its job and ALWAYS reports the correct data
scanimage -L works ONCE. But it is not able to detect it a second time.

Here is the debug output of "SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 scanimage -L" (as
root, so no permission problems can occur), started two times:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

I read of some similar problems on this mailing list, but they werent
exactly the same or it was a different model. Maybe its a more general
problem, so I posted it here.


It would be very nice, if someone already had a solution what to do ...


Sincerely
Daniel Winkler
