Comment 3 for bug 1247371

I also have this problem. "Invalid argument" errors appear randomly while scanning a page. Retrying the operation immediately after usually fixes this, however once it happened I had to shut down the scan backend (Skanlite) and start another (XSane), because the error was happening repeatedly on every attempt.
Using Canon LiDE 110 on Linux Mint 16 KDE (based on Ubuntu 13.10) on a HP ProBook 450 G1 laptop, using an USB 2.0 port. The problem happens "randomly" both with Skanlite and XSane.

Searching on Google I found this error is quite common, but I couldn't find any serious attempt to diagnose the source of the problem. Please let me know what I can do to help.
