Bug also happens with an Epson Stylus CX7800 All-in-one scanner, Feisty x86-64, Epson backend. None of the workarounds on this page help. The error I get in every case is "scanimage: sane_start: Operation not supported" This scanner worked perfectly on Edgy. All other USB devices work fine.

I used to have a problem with the parallel port printer activating when trying to scan. "sudo rmmod ppdev" solved that issue, but the scanner still won't scan.

So, will the Ubuntu kernel team step up to the plate and fix this bug with an update in the repositories?
