When trying to print I receive three messages indicating "broken pipe" and then an lpr failure.

I should receive a copy of the image scanned.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release (Hardy Heron)? Thanks in advance.

I upgraded to HH using the update-manager.

I seem to be loosing ground with xsane

[sean@einstein:/etc/sane.d]$xsane
[sanei_wire] sanei_w_array: DECODE: maximum amount of allocated memory
exceeded (limit: 1048576, new allocation: 3145728, total: 4194304 bytes)
Segmentation fault

Let me know what else I can do....

Try removing ~/.sane (make a backup if required) and testing again, in case it is a configuration issue. You may also like to test it using a Hardy (or ideally Intrepid) Live CD in order to isolate it from other system issues. Thanks again.

I have the same problem with a Canon LBP3360, used via USB2 (has Ethernet, too).

Debian seemingly has the same problem ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=468274 ):
"xsane: Fails to print using CUPS"

I got the problem when trying to copy a document via scanner+printer.
Scanner is an Epson Perfection 1650, also accessed via USB2 and working fine.
Ubuntu version is 8.04, running GNOME for this user
CUPS has 2 printers installed: the Canon LBP3360 already mentioned, and a virtual PDF printer.
Trying to print to the latter produced the same result: a couple of error messages about a broken pipe (three times in a row) before you get a chance to abort.

Installed packages related to xsane and cups:
xsane, xsane-common, and xsane-doc: 0.995-1ubunutu1
cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client, cupsys-common: 1.3.7-1ubuntu3
cupsys-driver-gutenprint,
cupsddk-drivers: 1.2.0-0ubuntu1
hal-cups-utils: 0.6.13+svn86-0ubuntu4
cndrvcups-common: 1.70-1
cndrvcups-ufr2-uk: 1.70-1 (external package)

Best regards
