1.0.22 incompatible with HP Scanjet 8200

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

I currently can't use scanimage with my HP Scanjet 8200C

In

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680767

they describe that this bug came with 1.0.22 and did not exist in 1.0.21.

Meanwhile 1.0.23 is available, maybe this would help.

regards

There seems to be an upstream fix fo r 1.0.22, see

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug still exists in Mint 18

Xsane generates the error: "Failed to open device 'avision:libusb:009:003': Operation not supported"

The only work around I've found is to us vuescan (commercial software). vuescan even supports transparency scanning, something the sane driver never did, even when it worked.

I should mention, that I have this problem on the Scanjet 8200, I do not have the 8200c

[DAP (akadap)]

my system has libsane-hpaio 3.16.3+repack0-1 and sane-utils 1.0.25+git20150528-1 installed.
