    The kernel driver cannot talk to the scanner.
    Now, I'd suggest we cc this to David Nelson, who wrote the driver.

    Is your scanner among those mentioned at
    http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html

    You have several options now.
    You could try out new drivers for the paralell port.
    You might try to get an USB trace from the Windows driver,
    if you have Windows.
