Unable to get files from a Kodak EasyShare C340 digital camera PTP I/O Error

Describe the bug

Hello,

I am trying to get the images off of an old digital camera. So far, I am unable to do so. It does not have image-capture capability, but I just need the --get-all-files to work. The program will recognize the camera, but it will only retrieve a few image files before cutting out with a PTP I/O error. After that, no camera is detected, and any invocation results in "Error: No camera found." I must reboot to be able to get it to detect the camera again, and even then often does not detect it again.

Unfortunately, my card reader does not work for the memory cards formatted from this camera. But using a card reader will not help get the images in the camera's internal memory.

I appreciate any information or hints you might be able to offer. Besides from getting a windows machine, I'd really like to get this to work on linux.
Thanks.

Camera Model: Kodak EasyShare C340 digital camera.

This version of gphoto2 is using the following software versions and options:

gphoto2 2.5.28.1 gcc, popt(m), exif, no cdk, no aa, jpeg, no readline libgphoto2 2.5.31.1 standard camlibs (SKIPPING docupen lumix), gcc, no ltdl, EXIF libgphoto2_port 0.12.2 iolibs: disk ptpip serial usb usbdiskdirect usbscsi, gcc, no ltdl, EXIF, USB, serial without locking

The following is for when it fails to detect the camera and gphoto2 returns with "Error: No camera found." I can get the output for when it detects the camera and downloads a few files, but it is harder to do. It is somewhat finicky and I don't know why it sometimes detects the camera and other times it does not. I will keep working to get the debug output for when it does recognize the camera.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

gphoto2 --get-all-files logfile.txt

sytem info: (uname -a)

Linux starkdg 5.10.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.140-1 (2022-09-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux
