Comment 21 for bug 18399

I've just tried the Ubuntu Colony 4 LiveCD at my aunts place. GNOME start fine.

Thought the scanner doesn't work. XSane just tells me it can't find the scanner.
(It does show up in 'lsusb').
Somehow, if I detach the scanner en then replug it in to the usb port, and start
XSane it ussually does find the scanner. Then if I try to scan, sometimes the scan
fails, and sometimes it works, it seems that failures only happen at the beginning,
once the scanner works, it keeps working until a reboot.

With 'fails', I mean either of these messsages (from XSane):
Failed to start scanner: End of file reached
Failed to start scanner: Error during device I/O

I get no errors in the 'dmesg'.

The only thing I can thing of this far, is that under Windows the scanner needs
to 'warmup', sane doesn't seem to take that into account, but I could be mistaken.
