sane hal and configuring a Canon CanoScan N650U

[Robert McKenzie]

I am just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to who to get such a  
combination working as I have despite much effort, not been able to do so.

The device is visible, the permissions for the device appear to be correct  
with the details as follows.

Using sane-find-scanners I get the following
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x2206) at /dev/uscanner0

Then when I try the next stage of trying scanimage -L, all I get is core  
dumping.

I have edited the relevant files in /usr/local/etc/sane.d but still no  
luck although hal also has the scanner listed and I was wondering if that  
was perhaps part of the problem.

I have been able to get usb sticks and removable hard drives working but  
the scanner is being proving really difficult so any ideas would be very  
much appreciated.
