How reproducible:

Always.

No activity of the scanner and a black image in the preview window.

I can scan from the command line using scanimage without any problems.

I have the same problems with an Epson perfection 660. Previously it worked ok,

While trying to adquire preview or to scan, in the console it appears the message 

[snapscan] Scanner warming up - waiting 31 seconds.

Again and again. Using scanimage, this message only appears once or twice and
then it scans correctly.

Comment 2 Máirín Duffy 2007-07-11 19:05:56 UTC
Same problem with the LiDE 30, which has worked flawlessly from FC4 to FC6 and
in RHEL 4 and RHEL 5.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-12 06:43:53 UTC
All, has it worked with the xsane-0.994 update in FC-6?

Comment 4 Edward Weening 2007-07-16 13:22:28 UTC
I had the same problem with the LiDE20. Everything worked fine in FC-6 but not
in F7.
After reading about similar problems on the Dutch Ubuntu site
(http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/message/120471), I installed scanbuttond:

yum install scanbuttond
service scanbuttond start

Result: all problems are gone!



Comment 5 Marcel Kyas 2007-07-16 14:19:21 UTC
I remember that my scanner worked in FC-6, but I do not remember whether the
last version I used in FC6 has been 0.994.

The symptoms are indeed identical to this ubuntu bug: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/85488 .  Installing
and starting scanbuttond works around this problem.

Still scanimage can scan and xsane cannot, which indicates that there is a bug
in xsane.

Comment 6 Thomas Canniot 2007-07-16 15:43:21 UTC
> All, has it worked with the xsane-0.994 update in FC-6?

It does still work with the xsane-0.994-2.fc6 package on FC-6. It does not with
the latest xsane package on FC-7.


Comment 7 Nils Philippsen 2007-07-16 16:18:47 UTC
All, I suspect that this is a duplicate of bug 243953.

Please try whether _one_ of the following fixes the problem:

a) with a current F7 kernel, add "usbcore.autosuspend=0" without the quotes to
the kernel command line, reboot

b) install kernel version 2.6.21-1.3255.fc7 from updates-testing and reboot into
that

Thanks.

Comment 8 Edward Weening 2007-07-17 11:11:52 UTC
I can confirm that fix a) add "usbcore.autosuspend=0" to the kernel command line
solves my problems, without installing scanbuttond.

I use kernel version 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
