Ben--I wanted to bring attention AGAIN to this bug & as far as I know, this has been fixed upstream as of 2.6.21. I need a operating scanner & I REALLY hate booting Windoze to to make a scan. The posted work-arounds in this bug report no longer work in the new kernel.
I do not see how this could have been fixed sometime in the last 6 months (the inital report).
If Ubuntu is going to a bussiness-viable OS, a way to use normal scanners would be a good idea.
I an sorry if I sound miffed---I just can't see how loosing a important fuction could be just bypassed.
