Thanks for that. After checking for only one sane.d directory (which involved removing the old Red Hat 8.0 installed version in /etc/sane.d) I tried your config file. Sadly, I get the same results.
With a little more investigation, I find that a preview scan does eventually complete, after about an hour. There's 20 minute gaps between periods of head movement.
My feeling is that I may have a problem elsewhere. The scanner seems to work on a different machine under Windows, which rules out the scanner, so it may be either the USB hardware implementation is a little faulty, or the USB hardware driver is faulty.
Of course, I have no real evidence for this, but that's my hunch, given that you have the scanner working well.
I'll return it to the shop, and hope to get a refund.
Thanks anyway.
