the mystery of the disappearing hp2200c usb scanjet
by Mandrake 9.0 i586
everytime the pc is booted scanimage -L correctly reports the hp2200c usb flatbed scanner. similarly, immediately after a reboot, xscanimage will have in its title plustek:/dev/usb/scanner0.
all correct so far i believe as the plustek is also the driver for this particular hp.
now the mystery begins, on a second scanimage -L as it says no scanner found
or
when the scan button on xscanimage is hit .. it will say device i/o error
similarly, the preview/acquire image says the same thing.
all detectives pls. respond ;)
thx
ps. aside from the humour i have been on this thing for 2/3 weeks now and just finally got scanimage -L to respond so i really want to take another step forward.
thx again.
