Hello, I took the mustek_usb2 back-end, and made it look for Microtek ScanMaker 4900 (05da:30d9)
The result was the output as shown below and an 320x240 black and white image with noise. There was no motor action, but there also was no aborts like I had with a3p1. The question is, would it suggest that mustek_usb2 is a promising starting point, or just about any backend will give me such results? comments? ----------------- % /usr/local/sane/bin/sane-find-scanner found USB scanner (vendor=0x05da, product=0x30d9, chip=SQ11) at libusb:004:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected.
