I shall try this, Peter. Permissions is not an issue as I'm the only person using this computer (though I did check Users and Groups to be sure.) Steve is correct in identifying it as an AGFA Snapscan 1212u.
Erm, just because you're the only user on a linux box does *not* mean that permissions are not the problem. I am the only user on my laptop, that doesn't mean that I haven't had to add myself to various groups over time, change udev rules to bring devices up that I own, etc etc.
How about posting us the output of: lsusb ls -laR /dev/bus/usb id
Using non-free software to "fix" something that probably isn't even remotely broken seems like a very very silly way of dealing with the problem IMO.
Bev.
Download vuescan, see if it will work with that, if so now try it with xsane and see if it works. If not, buy vuescan. If it works with xsane after you've used vuescan, I don't know why this happens, but it does, so just keep your demo copy around in case of need.
