[sane-devel] Re: CanoScan LiDE20 jamming with scanimage

[Fibonacci Prower]

Second update: I'm now running Knoppix LiveCD, and the scanner works just
fine with SANE - scanimage, XSane, and xscanimage (which is absent from my
main SANE installation) scan to the end without ever jamming. The scanner
makes some strange noises which it doesn't in Windows, but it *works*.
But since my main OS is FC5, and I (obviously) can't boot from Knoppix
everytime, I absolutely have to get SANE to work on Fedora.

Thanks in advance,

-Fibo
