Hi everyone

Im having scanner problems in FC1, i have a Benq 4300 Color Scanner.

sane-find-scanner detects the scanner without a problem,
and scanimage -L lists the scanner correctly. I have loaded the firmware
needed and i edited the snapscan.conf so it users that firmware.

The when i run scanimage i get the following error:

scanimage: open of device snapscan:/dev/usb/scanner0 faild: Error during I/O

Any ideas

Any help would be appreciated
Thx
Riaan
