  Thanks - I found the same work-around myself doing some debugging.

  Why is Xen unable to correctly do the order=1 allocation behind this code
path?

  I also tried a USB scanner (sane-backends w/libusb) in this domU. When you
try to actually scan, it throws up a DMA error and kernel oops. Much more
seriously broken than the print problem.

  It looks to me like there are some real Xen problems behind these two, and
the Xen developers could improve the code's quality by debugging these cases.

  I tried to file a bug report with XenSource, but their new account sign-up
never got back to me.

                                                                        -Craig
