<p><DEFANGED_div style="text-align: left;">Just for the heck of it, backup the conf file then comment out the sections for the other devices/scanners, but yours. Oh, install these:<br></p><DEFANGED_div><br>sudo apt-get install sane sane-utils libsane xsane libusb
<br><br>just to get the usual stuff. Then, run "sane-find-scanner" and report what you find. Finally, when you have all that installed, run "lsusb" and see if your scanner is listed. Please post results.

Jordan,<br><br>I'm running Ubuntu Dapper on my laptop and took a peek<br>at the /etc/sane.d/artec_eplus48.conf file. I see the<br>section for your scanner's ProductID. Do you have the<br>Windows firmware file it requires in the listed
<br>location?<br><br>option artecFirmwareFile<br>/usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/Artec48.usb<br><br> And, do you have a "/dev/usbscanner' device file?<br>ls -l /dev/usb*<br><br>What does 'dmesg' output when you plug in your
<br>scanner?<br><br>G-<br><br><br>--- Jordan Hudson <<a href="mailto:jodanlime@gmail.com">jodanlime@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> at <a href="http://www.sane-project.org">www.sane-project.org</a> they list that my scanner

<br>><br>> VendorID: 0x05d8<br>> ProductID: 0x4005<br>><br>> but it has it listed under the backend config file<br>> as that same thing, I<br>> just can find any info on how to setup the backend!<br>>
