One reason I had never updated any of those before is because I have all of the latest Released updates installed. I tool a risk with installing all the above items from Rawhide. Guess what? Now everything appears to work. ssh was broken because I updated initscripts, but a quick "yum install openssh*" with the Rawhide repo enabled fixed that :) Now for the fun part: I tried what I consider to be an acid test: 1. Scan a photo at about 600dpi. Scanned perfectly. The scanner never got hung up. 2. Immediately I unplugged the scanner and replugged it into another USB2 port. Scanned the same image at 600dpi. Worked perfectly yet again :) I repeated this process a total of four times, each time scanning the same image, unplugging the scanner, replugging immediately into a different USB2 port. Worked perfectly every time. Now I need to "Bite the bullet" and put the burner back into the problem ports again and try a similar test with that. Thank you very much for your help. Your advice worked perfectly :) Steven P. Ulrick
