<pre wrap="">I copied the firmware file to "/opt/gt68xx/sbfw.usb"
and edited the file "gt68xx.conf"
----------------
# Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus:
override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"
firmware "/opt/gt68xx/SBfw.usb"
----------------
and copied it to "cp gt68xx.conf /etc/sane.d/"
and then ran "/usr/bin/sane-find-scanner -v"
but my scanner was not found.
I have my scanner connected directly to the usb0 port on my motherboard.
Questions:
1) What dev port does the system look at to find my scanner, and, do I have to mount it?
2) From some other reading I did, does a module need to be loaded, such as, (or something similar)?
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-31.9/kernel/drivers/usb/scanner.o vendor=0x055f product=0x0006
Thanks again for your patience with me and help.

That scanner is supported by the gt68xx backend, not mustek_usb. Here
is more documentation: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/">http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/</a>
The main point is that you get the firmware from the above mentioned
page and copy it to the location listed in man sane-gt68xx.
After that you should be able to scan at least as root (scanimage -L;
scanimage --help; scanimage >image.pnm). If scanning as normal user
doesn't work, look into the documentation for your distribution, it
should be explained there.
Bye,
Henning

<pre>I'm running RedHat 9 on a AMD K6-2 system.
I am trying to get my Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner working on the USB
port, but after reading a whole bunch of articles on Google.com, I am
still not sure howto configure the modules and sane-backend and
sane-frontend components, mustek_usb.conf, etc., and get it all working so I
can actually use my scanner.
My systems is,
CPU: AMD K6-2 333MHz
Mem: 324Mb
O/S: RedHat 9 Linux
I have the USB cable plugged into the usb0 port of my motherboard.
Your would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Martin
