I can also confirm the problem on ubuntu/feisty/i386 with a Canon 670U. Fortunately, the wrapper from Joel Berger and ianrose works perfectly for me.

Although I know that it is a hack (and somehow dirty) it may be worth for everyone to give it a try. Maybe there are extensions possible for those, who experience problems due to the use of non-plustek-drivers.

IMO it stands to reason that kernel-settings in ubuntu are not going to be changed until the next release (except for security-issues of course).

Thanx to Joel and ianrose,
Frank
