Since 6.06, I'd had no success with USB, instead went the Firewire
route. I ran 'sudo chmod a+rw /dev/sg3' for each session. I was
delighted to find this workaround was no longer required when I
installed 7.10 a few weeks ago (oh joy!). My motherboard died two weeks
later and the only replacement I could find lacked Firewire (oh
sorrow!). Back to USB, 'sane-find-scanner' and 'scanimage -L' report the
presence of the scanner, but I always got the I/O error if I tried to
scan. The post above regarding USB 1.1/2.0 got me thinking and I dug out
an old OrangeLink Firewire/USB PCI card (I'm guessing that it's USB
1.1). Plugged in the USB and it works! Plugged in the Firewire, that
works too! Thank you David.
