Somebody I phoned this morning made the valid point that it might not be Linux that's causing this problem - it could just as easily be this particular scanner that's not talking USB 2 correctly. The thing I want to ask, Alan, sorry if it seems like a stupid question, but are you sure that your motherboard has USB 2.0 interfaces, and that they are configured as USB 2.0 not 1.1 in the BIOS. My BIOS lets me switch off USB 2.0 but it is on by default. Thanks for any feedback/help you can provide.
