Strange USB Scaner Problem

[Amichai Rotman]

So, it seems I'll have to switch back to Edgy, then....

Another thing I now remembered: Feisty fixed the problem I had with Lacie's
Lightscribe support for Edgy.

I guess scanning my pictures and documents mountain on my computer's side is
more important than Lightscribing a DVD full of my kid's pictures....

It would be nice to have them both working, though.

Any way to make it happen on Feisty before I go ahead with the downgrade ?

Amichai.
