Of course, you were correct with that command structure. I was missing one 
byte somewhere in my documentation, so the size arguments didn't align 
properly...

Actually, I'm running into the same problem with the magicolor 1690MF. It has 
one USB interface for the scanner and two for the printer. The problem is that 
the scanner interface has 3 bulk endpoints: #3 OUT, #4 IN and #5 IN. 
Unfortunately, the scanner uses endpoint #5 to send data, while SANE always 
takes the first bulk IN endpoint, which is #4 in this case.

So, we are back to your problem

Has anything happened in this direction?

Cheers,
Reinhold
