PS: The problem only showed up when connected via the 10m extension cable - it usually worked ok if the hub was plugged in directly to the computer.


I suggest You try swapping hubs, I think the more expensive ones are better.
I too noticed the Canon was a bit fussy, but I detected the issue was mainly the original cable. If an after market one was used then it most of the time failed. Went back to the original and it was smooth as silk , it took me a while but managed to get a good after-market USB cable to replace the original but it is now working even on my 10 port el-cheapo hub.
