I find that my canon 650u scanner does not work if I plug it in directly to the usb ports on my 15 al powerbook. If I want to use it I have to plug into a powered usb hub first. This didn't happen on my old iMac 400 unless I tried to use the keyboard usb ports.

Are both the ports on the powerbook "lowpower"?
