I have a very old scanner HP Scanjet C7076A with ADF which I would like to use. I am using sane and xsane for scanning, and I can choose the scanner there, it is connected with USB. But after pushing SCAN or PRESCAN the scanner only makes some noises and after a while a window pops up saying “Error during read: Error during device I/O” and doesn’t scan.
dmesg shows it connected

Any ideas how to find out more about the problem, if it is a software one?
Thank you!
