Bug Description
If I try to scan with xsane or skanlite there is often an error message like "Error during device I/O". If that error message appears, I have to replug the scanner to make it working again. There are several symptom which are not always the same: Sometimes only preview doesn't work, sometimes scanning doesn't work. Sometimes scanning with 75 dpi / color results in a corrupted image with vertical coloured lines while scanning the same text printout with 600 dpi results in a normal output. Often the scanner is very noisy compared to the sound I am used to from scanning with the trusty release.
Using the amd64 version on the same machine works, but the scanner is quite noisy compared to the sound I am used to from the trusty release.
WORKAROUND: Use the trusty packages of xsane, libsane and other dependencies.

Today I have taken the xenial sources for sane-backends and xsane and built the libsane and xsane packages with a trusty i386 system. Then I booted the Kubuntu trusty i386 (14.04.3) iso image. First I installed the xsane package from the standard repo and the scanner worked as it should. The I installed the newly compiled packages (libsane- common_ 1.0.25+ git20150528- 1ubuntu2_ all.deb libsane_ 1.0.25+ git20150528- 1ubuntu2_ i386.deb sane-utils_ 1.0.25+ git20150528- 1ubuntu2_ i386.deb xsane-common_ 0.999-3ubuntu1_ all.deb) . With the new xsane version scanning was unreliable, just as I reported for the xenial version.
