    Exclamation Scanner Problem HP 6200c

    I'm having problems getting my scanner working

    HP scanjet 6200c
    Fedora 8
    Sane: 1.0.18
    Harware: http://www.smolts.org/show?UUID=0304...b-90d625049181
    It Currently works 100% in windows.
    It worked with Linux/sane in the past (6months or more.. don't use it that often so hard to say)
    Sane has no problem detecting the scanner.
    Other USB devices working fine.

    Outputs:
    [root@tbred ~]# sane-find-scanner
    ~
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x0201 [HP ScanJet 6200C]) at libusb:004:004
    ~

    [root@tbred ~]# scanimage -L
    device `hp:libusb:004:004' is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 62x0C flatbed scanner

    [root@tbred ~]# scanimage -T
    scanimage: unable to determine option count (xsane returns the same error)

    dmesg:
    usb 4-2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
    usb 4-2: failed to restore interface 0 altsetting 0 (error=-110)
    usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 4
    usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
    usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    usb 4-2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
    usb 4-2: failed to restore interface 0 altsetting 0 (error=-110)
    usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 5
    usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6
    usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
    (evertime scanimage is used it resets like this)

    Things I have tried that didnt change anything:
    Using differnt USB ports.
    Connecting to a differnt system (running Fedora 8 fresh install)
    Disabling USB Autosuspend

    I suspect Kernel USB or libusb handling problem...
    would be greatful for any help you guys might give me.. thank you in advance!

    Scanner Problem HP 6200c

    I have the same problem!!
    This scanner worked great under Fedora 7.
    After doing my 8 install.
    Getting the same as you Mike!

    Let me know if someone figures it out.

    Well sense you said fedora 7 worked with the scanner, I tried compiling fedora 7 packages and using them. well I found the problem after not looking that long... your correct Fedora 7 packages do work.. atleast the orignal packages do, updated ones have a usb_reset patch and apparently our scanner doesn't like it very much. so I got the source for the newest Fedora 8 package and removed the usb_reset patch and all works fine now...

    sane-backends-1.0.18-18.mc.fc8.i386.rpm :
