I attempted to use an HP PSC 1209 to scan in documents and dmesg 
referred to problems with usb ports. I guess the printer mode and 
scanner mode have to co-operate or one process off while the other 
process is on.

I did not know it ever worked. You might check your messages log and 
dmesg when attempting this. Also, isn't there a special program for 
all-in-one scanners that is needed? I do not scan a lot and was happy 
with the print capability, which I use mostly.

xsane crashes whenever I tried the scanner function though.

I can't help you, but I hope this gives you some ideas.
