Hello,

I tried the following:

dmesg | grep -i usb

and after removing and loading of ohci-hcd the following messages appeared:

This is the output of: lsmod | grep -i usb
usbserial              28008  0
usbhid                 41312  0
usbcore               108760  5 ohci_hcd,usbserial,usbhid,ehci_hcd


I don't understand to much of these messages, but for me it seems the
scanner is recognized as a full speed device.

So is it possible to force this device to be recognized as a low speed
device?

Now I removed the module and loaded it again, and  the scanner seems to
scan more pages. So maybe we are on the right trace.

Thank you for help
Regards Guido

I just looked in ebay for this scanner, an I think, I cannot afford this
scanner at the moment.
