Comment 24 for bug 83957

Not sure if related to everyone else ... I get the grinding sometimes with scanimage and everytime with scanimage -T when using an older usb cable ... I remembered that my N650U came with a translucent usb cable that I could see the shielding and had a magnetic filter on both ends. After installing the usb cable that came with the scanner I haven't had the grinding issue once ...

Wondering does the SANE version 1.0.15 use a slower usb mode ? or less aggresive settings that work with a usb cable that isn't properly shielded or rated for faster USB ?

Anyway that is my 2cents ... good luck
