I/O problems with OfficeJet D135

Hello ppl, 

Fist of all, beeing new to this group, I would like to thank 
everyone for the wonderfull service provided.

So, to the problem: I have a HP OfficeJet d135 (fully 
supported) installed on Redhat 9 running kernel 2.4.20. I 
followed all the installation steps faithfully, and it all 
seemd to work just fine untill I tried to actually scan 
something. What happens is that i get a I/O error in the 
middle of the scan of the last page in a batch (or, if there 
is only one page beeng scanned i get the error in the middle 
of that page). After this error, the scanner "dies" as in that 
linux no longer recognizes it, I have to power-off then 
power-on the scanner for it to be recognozed again...any ideas 
on how to solve this issue?

p.s: Im using duplex (both sides) scanning mode...so it looks 
like this:
'scanimage --duplex=yes --batch --batch-mode=yes'
using XSANE anso yields a I/O error msg in the last page 
(halfway though it)

Also, I would like to be able to place all scanned images into 
a single image file (or, better yet, a pdf file) and not have 
it generate a independent image file for each scan.

Thanks 4 any help ;)
