Scanner no longer works with my AMD PC

[David Fletcher]

Yes I know that I first posted this thread several months ago, but I
now have not exactly a solution, but a workaround, which has allowed me
to use my scanner again.

My conclusion that somebody has screwed up the SANE drivers for non-
Intel USB hardware, stands, i.e. I still cannot run the scanner when
plugged into my AMD desktop computer.

My workaround is to instead plug my scanner into my server, which has
an Atom chip. Doing a little Google searching, I found some how-tos
detailing how to set up networked scanning. It wasn't difficult to do.
I can now scan, exactly as I did before, using my AMD desktop or,
should I choose, my little 10" Toshiba netbook via the WiFi.

Maybe somebody else has a scanner which no longer works with an AMD
computer? Could something cheaper than my server get it working again?
It would be interesting to know.
