[sane-devel] Canon LiDE 210 and grinding noises

[flori at bin.org.in]

Hello,

have got maybe the same problem. Its an old Canon N656U with the  
plustek backend. Version is 1.0.20. I verified the scanner with an old  
Windows XP, and there it works perfectly.

Sometimes ot would work for the first page, and only get stuck on  
consecutive pages. So I assumed a problem with re-calibration on the  
second page.

But since 2 weeks it even aborts the first page always. Now it seems  
to be random when it happens: During calibration, or even during scan.  
No pattern found :(
