Scanner problem Canon DR-3010C

We have few USB scanners Canon DR-3010C which for some reason do not work under openSUSE 12.1 (haven’t tried 12.2 yet) 64 bit.

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the

  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that

  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

And in /var/log/messages you can see:

All looks fine, however:

itp01:~ # scanimage -d canon_dr:libusb:002:002 -v
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument

Xsane gives out the same error.

Any ideas?
