Hi Anthony,
I had a similar problem with a another USB scanner, and for me it helped
to remove the 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' line (from hp.conf in my case),
as this is used used for the kernel module. As you use libusb however,
you don't need it, but only the line below (usb 0x4b8 0x110). I am
doubtful if that's the solution to your problem however, as you say that
the scanner starts out working correctly...
Also, the output of scanimage -L is correct? The access rights? There is
a group called scanner, which I put the users in as well.
