generic scsi driver problem

I'm writing a driver for a film recorder (a printer to the scsi bus). I 
can send simple format commands with no problems and the recorder 
responds fine. I have a problem sending images to the device. I send a 
print command, the recorder responds by opening its shutter, and then I 
send just one scanline as a packet (2048 bytes/pixels). Now the recorder 
receives just the one scanline over and over until it has imaged a whole 
frame, and then barfs and sends back an error to the linux box with empty 
sense codes. Then I get a locked scsi bus and recorder.

The recorder is on a WD7000 (ISA) card. My disks are on a seperate bus, 
so I can reboot without cycling power. I'm using the handle_SCSI_cmd from 
the Programming-SCSI-HOWTO. Im sure that the fault is with the generic 
scsi driver. Any ideas?
