Yes and here is is reply:
"the name "GT-9700" is the internal name (and the name that EPSON uses 
to market this scanner in Japan), so that has noting to do with your 
problem. I've seen a number of problems reported with Ubuntu, I suspect 
that there is something wrong with the USB subsystem, which is outside 
of my control. I know that this scanner works fine with my SuSE system.

Maybe if we want to use that scanner, switch to SuSE. 


Just kidding!

The USB subsystem is beyond my area of expertise ... to say the least!
How can we get someone "in-the-know" to check it out?

I tested this on my laptop and my desktop which I have running the same 
version of Ubuntu.  Same results on both.
