Yeah, I mistyped a bit "libusb-0.1-4 "... It looks like linux sees your scanner alright. In the config file, it states the path to the firmware. It has to match the actual location of the file. Copy the firmware to the location in the file (case sensitive) and try it again Jordan.

so thats what happens when I type all that you gave me in, and I was
wondering, does it matter that my firmware file is in my home
directory? should it be somewhere else? thanks for all the help, and I
hope we can get this fixed.<br><br><p></p></p><DEFANGED_div><p><DEFANGED_div style="direction: ltr;"><DEFANGED_span class="e" id="q_10a4e785a97feeb9_1">On 3/30/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Godwin</b> <<a href="mailto:geektoyz@gmail.com" target="_blank" DEFANGED_onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

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" target="_blank" DEFANGED_onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">jodanlime@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> at <a href="http://www.sane-project.org" target="_blank" DEFANGED_onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
www.sane-project.org</a> they list that my scanner
