Hi, I've experienced similar issues with an old CanonScan. It worked until Fedora 19, but not in Fedora 20. I've tried with: simple-scan xsane gimp + sane plugin command line: scanimage -d plustek ... The last one returned an I/O error. Just to make sure it's not a scanner problem, I've asked a collegue of mine (which runs a fedora 19) to test it and it worked. I hope that Fedora 21 (that I'm going to install in the next few days) can bring it back to life.
