    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
