My HP 2200C began, suddenly, to exhibit this type of behavior some weeks back. I asked on -questions and received no reply, so I assumed it was best to file a bug report with the backend maintainers. That went over like a lead balloon; not that it was their fault, it just went badly. I finally gave up and purchased a new scanner. The last thing I heard about my bug report from the backend maintainers was "It works for me." I was torn between attributing it to some weird issue with FBSD's USB bits, and a bug in the sane backend code; but I lack the clue to know which. Prior to the backend update, outlined below, the HP 2200C worked adequately. 2005-12-18: SANE-Backends-1.0.17 has been released. Changes since 1.0.16: * New backends: hp4200 (HP ScanJet 4200), lexmark (Lexmark X1100 series), mustek_usb2 (Mustek BearPaw 2448 TA Pro) * Updated backends: artec_eplus48u, avision, canon, epson, fujitsu, genesys, gt68xx, microtek2, mustek_pp, plustek, plustek_pp, sm3600, snapscan, umax_pp. >From . I'd give you the bug number, but they closed and tossed it. Good luck, and I hope it works out.... Joe Altman
