In trying to get my HP PhotoSmart S20 scanner communicating with
VirtualBox (Win 2K guest) I found that the information received by the
kernel (2.6.28-13-generic) from the scanner is wildly inconsistent.
The vendor # and device # are consistent, but the rest is garbled (HP
?HP PhotoSmart C5101A, HP ?HP oSmart C5101A - S20, HP P,
HEW?HEWLETT-PAC, etc) when it should be HP PhotoSmart C5101A - S20.
This is on a newly set-up machine running Ubuntu 9.04. The MB is an
Asus M3N78-VM. The system appears to communicate with other devices
on the USB properly (an HP DeskJet 930C and a ScanDisk card reader).
The data from the scanner received by kernel 2.6.26-2-686 running
Debian Lenny on a Lenovo ThinkPad T42 does not suffer this problem.
Any ideas would be welcomed. The scanner is a wonderful machine--it
worked fine on Win ME on the old MB when I was dual booting.
Thanks,
-Denis
