Bug Description
The other day I updated Ubuntu and when I tried to scan something, it would not work. Both gscan2pdf an Xsane brought out this:
scanimage: open of device brother2:bus4;dev1 failed: Error during device I/O
I spent some hours googling and looking for help, but nothing got my Scanner working again.
What I did:
- I reinstalled all packages of sane and the brother driver
- I tried another USB-Port
- I tried it with the Live-CD of Ubuntu 8.10 (32 Bit)
- with Windows Xp Pro the scanner works fine
- stopping ehci
Further Information:
- Scanner is a Brother MFC 465 CN connected via USB 2.0 cabel
- I am Using Ubuntu 8.10 32 Bit
It seems that one of the updates caused all that trouble, but using the (older) Livecd didn't work ether, so I suppose it is a Problem that is not yet fixed. While googling I found some other guys with the same problem, but none of their workarounds could help, so I would be happy, if this could be fixed in 9.04 :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it without more information.
Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.
