Actually, it's not working today. Same "Invalid argument" message. Quite a puzzle. Do I have to reboot between scans? It's not critical though. I use the HP 8710 with HP's scanner software on a Windows VM, but that scanner also works with xsane.
The main purpose of testing the Fujitsu was for testing with MasterPDF to see if that program would recognize that scanner. After my previous success with scanimage I ran MasterPDF and it did see the scanner and did scan a page. Unfortunately, MasterPDF doesn't see the scanner today either. I'm reporting these results to Code Industry (author of MasterPDF). They should do what's needed to get this working correctly.

It's not an application-level issue. The evidence so far suggests that it's occurring further down in the stack.

Perhaps check the behaviour from the case when the scanner was plugged in at boot to the case where it is plugged in just prior to attempting to scan with it.

Could you elaborate a bit? I did check lsusb and the device is still the same. No additional messages in dmesg. What other case conditions are you thinking of?
I was just wondering if the device is handled okay when connected from boot as opposed to say when it is attached just prior to using it with a scanning utility.
I've got a similar issue here with a Fujitsu SnapScan S300. I extracted the 300_0C00.nal file for the fujitsu snapscan scanner from the Fujitsu windows driver CAB file. I created a subdirectory in /usr/share/sane called epjitsu and placed the *.nal file there. I then referenced it in the fujitsu.conf in /etc/sane.d/fujitsu.conf.
When running sane-find-scanner -v it comes back with:
Code:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5 [FUJITSU], product=0x1156 [ScanSnap S300]) at libusb:001:003
I can access the scanner just fine using a command line using scanimage:
Code:
scanimage -d epjitsu:libusb:001:003 >test.pbm
When I try to preview scan using either xsane or skanlite, the program scans approximately 30% of the page then hangs the program until I cancel the preview. The scanner is obviously working and the hardware is also working since scanimage is able to get a complete scan.
