My scanner get stuck, only in Archlinux

Hi everyone, i have a problem with my scanner under Archlinux.

I have a Benq 3300U, it had been worked perfectly, but i upgraded my Archilinux with pacman -Syu, and now my scanner get stuck.

The problem is weir, scanimage -L and all scanner programs, detect my scanner with not problem, but when i select the device the problems begin, first at all the warming time is maybe twice longer than before, so, when I ask for a preview, it start fine and it scan all the preview, but when the lamp is returning to its normal position it get stuck, the lamp stop in the middle, and becomes blocked, there are not errors, if i disconnect the scanner and plug in again, it become usable again, but always get stuck when the lamp is returning to its normal place.

Same happens if i scan a image manually with scanimage, but this problems only happens with Archilinux, i also have Windows and others Linux Distros in the same computer, and the scanner works in them with not problem.

I have tried reinstalling sane and xsane, deleting all their configuration files, but always get the same problem.

Thanks for any help.

If it was working fine before the upgrade, have you considered downgrading to the previous sane?
I'm not saying it's going to work, but it is an idea worth trying.

may have been something with the udev upgrade. check /etc/udev/rules/udev.rules(.pacnew) for changes
