aloha simon

you might check to see if version sane-backends-1.0.27 made any
changes to avision and maybe even sanei_usb.  if so you would
probably be well served to install this newer version.

you also might check to see if there is a way to inhibit the
calibration operation, just to see if a scan can actually work.
try something like
     scanimage -v -d avision:libusb:003:005 -A
to get an idea of all the supported options for avision.


best of luck
