i did change the lines in mustek_usb2_asic.c around line 3520 to: static unsigned short ProductID = 0x040b; static unsigned short VendorID = 0x055f; and i changed in mustek_usb2.c the x_range and y_range to this: static SANE_Range x_range = { SANE_FIX (0.0), /* minimum */ SANE_FIX (11.7 * MM_PER_INCH), /* maximum */ SANE_FIX (0.0) /* quantization */ }; static SANE_Range y_range = { SANE_FIX (0.0), /* minimum */ SANE_FIX (16.5 * MM_PER_INCH), /* maximum */ SANE_FIX (0.0) /* quantization */ }; finally, i just had to run ./configure --enable-pthread :P make and sudo make install... indeed everything is already put into /usr/local (the configure script told me it would too). i re-plugged the USB cable and tried /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner and it detects the scanner like before (thinking it is an HP, etc.) but still 'sudo /usr/local/bin/scanimage -L' doesn't detect anything.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkupBEYACgkQXhfCJNu98qA86wCg35E/v5Fad+XfTMq+zxLqyEA1 tzwAoOYC4mk7in2T6ZJIR8tExTY2CVrE =/QpB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
