  Mandrake Linux 8.0; SANE 1.04-2mdk; HP Scanjet 6200C;
  Adaptec SCIS 2940; device I/O error

  Hi -- I'm turning here for help -- I've read all the documentation and tried
  everything that I know how to do, and cannot get past this point. I have the
  above configuration and get a "device I/O error" before a scan begin every time
  now. When I first installed this a few weeks ago, I could get it to scan 5-10
  scans, and then the error would return. Tesing the scanner under Windows shows
  the hardware is OK. I've seen similar issues on the newsgroups, but I have not
  found a solution to it. According to the documentation, all my hardware and
  software is supported and current.

  Advice / help? Thank you! - Andy Lazarewicz

  Sequence of commands as follows. Note that after logging in, the command
  "scanimage -L" does not find the scanner on the first try, but finds it on all
  subsequent tries.

  [alaz@localhost alaz]find-scanner
  # Note that find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
  # to a SCSI bus. It will even find scanners that are not supported
  # at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that is connected to a
  # parallel, USB or other non-SCSI port.

  # You may want to run this program as super-user to find all devices.
  # Once you found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access
  # permissions as necessary.

  find-scanner: found processor "HP C6270A 3846" at device /dev/sg0
  find-scanner: found processor "HP C6270A 3846" at device /dev/sga
  [alaz@localhost alaz]scanimage -L

  No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
  check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
  find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read teh documentation which came
  with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
  [alaz@localhost alaz]scanimage -L
  device `hp:/dev/sga' is a Hewlett-Packard C6270A flatbed scanner
  [alaz@localhost alaz]scanimage -d hp:/dev/sga > test.pnm
  scanimage: sane_read: Error during device I/O
  [alaz@localhost alaz]

  This same error shows up under the XSANE front-end.
