Re: [tlug] USB connection to scanner lost



Maxime,

Thanks for responding again.

Try with a live-CD if you want to check if your scanner is broken or not.
That's probably a good suggestion, but I know for a fact now that my scanner is broken. Because I just broke it.

Long story short, it looked like the chain that regulates the movement of the LED device was loose. I attempted to open the scanner for a closer look. Minutes later, my scanner was in a state of entropy.
But if
your scanner is broken, it is a good news, because now you can start boycotting
the canon products. ;-)
Um... okay... but why would I do that? From what I can tell, they release drivers for Linux and over all I've had good success with getting them to work.

Which brand would you recommend?
