Description Jean Francois Martinez 2013-05-09 13:40:16 UTC
Description of problem:
I have an "EPSON 3490 Photo" scanner.  Every time it is powered off it requires its firmware being reloaded.  However with kernel 3.8.11-200 xsane waits a quite long time and then complains about an I/O error.  I have to reboot to 3.8.5-201
use sane so firmware is loaded and then reboot to 3.8.11-200.  Then it works but of course this trick will only work until a kernel upgrade pushes 3.8.5-201 into oblivion.  I cannot just let my scanner powered on since when it crashes a power-off is mandatory.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.8.11-200

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with 3.8.11-200
2. Power-off scanner and then power it on again
3. Try to scan something
  
Actual results:
Sane complains of an I/O error and is unable to make the scanner work

Expected results:
A working scanner.


Additional info:
Could be unrelated but with this kernel when I do an lsusb my 3490 scanner shows up as a 3590.  I haven't tried with one of the older, working kernels. 
I also have kernel 3.8.6-203 but I haven't tested if sane can load the firmware with it.
