feisty xsane Canon LIDE 20/25/30 broken

[Peter Miller]

Binary package hint: xsane

xsane 0.99+0.991-1ubuntu2

Recognises the scanner, but it fails to turn on the light and move the scan bar. It returns an all-black image.

Forgot to mention that xsane works just fine with this scanner on Dapper.

Same issue with a Canon Lide 25 (also using the plustek backend)

[Piotr Żurek (piotrek.zurek)]

I have Canon Lide 20 and the same problem.

scanimage -L returns:

device `plustek:libusb:002:004' is a Canon N670U/N676U/LiDE20 USB flatbed scanner

and
scanimage -d plustek:libusb:002:004 > scan.pnm
scans OK, but XSane doesn't work. What is the problem?

xsane 0.99+0.991-1ubuntu2 is working fine here on i386

$ scanimage -L
device `plustek:libusb:005:009' is a Canon N670U/N676U/LiDE20 USB flatbed scanner

Let me know if you need more information to work out the differences between the environments.

The scanner is still NOT working! I am getting anxious as april 19th is very close!!

Same problem here (fully reproducible) on an updated Feisty system. Everything was working previously working fine. Please tell if any additionnal info is needed.
Thanks.

I've got the same problem on Feisty and Gutsy. Scanner worked fine with Dapper.
