(The cups problem is a bit more basic so might want to scroll down) 1) Scanning. Anyone using USB and thinking of 2.6 may find some of this stuff useful for the future: I don't know if any of you guys have tried scanning on the 2.6 kernel but it's proving a nightmare for me.
I thought it was too good to be true. After upgrading to 2.6 I was surprised how well everything was working... but then until I read your message I had not tried the scanner :-( I have run out of time tonight to try to figure this out completely so here for the benefit of anyone else who might be tackling this are my experiences so far with debian testing/unstable. Firstly made sure that all the sane packages were installed - including sane-utils with that I could run scanimage as root only. Edited /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner to comment out the "secure" option which sets the device ownership to root:scanner 0660 and uncommented the less secure option "chmod 0666". Now I can run scanimage as a normal user. Which leaves two problems. Every GUI scanning app (xscanimage, xsane) eventually (see below) finds the scanner but refuses to operate it, telling me that the device is busy! It takes a whole minute to look for devices (as in "scanimage -L"). This seems to involve the following lines appearing in /var/log/messages May 10 21:26:04 elvira kernel: usb 1-2.1: bulk timeout on ep2in May 10 21:26:04 elvira kernel: usbfs: USBDEVFS_BULK failed dev 5 ep 0x82 len 1 ret -110 Hmm...
