Thanks, James See this page, http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/mustek_usb2-backend/ this backend uses the same chip accoording to this page, the page is a bit old, the backend is already included in sane 1.0.18. -- m.vr.gr.

I seem to be missing the mustek_usb2.conf file. Downloaded sane-backend-1.0.18 and installed. No mustek_usb2.conf, downloaded the latest mustek_usb2 file from the web site below and installed. No mustek_usb2.conf file. If I understand correctly from sane-usb(5) man page, I might be able to add usb 0x0a53 0x5001 in the .conf file and the backend might work?

Gerard Klaver man sane_mustek_usb2 no information about mustek_usb2.conf.in file. It seems you have to patch the mustek_usb2 backend file to add your vendor and product id, but be carefull with testing because i think your scanner has a different setup (cardreader), usb sniff files should give you an idea about some of the parameters. Contact also the maintainer of the backend (with info on sane-find-scanner -v -v) -- m.vr.gr. Gerard Klaver

[sane-devel] New SANE mailing list search-engine
Hi! From now on, the mailing list archive (both the old and the new) can be searched at http://sane.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/htdig/search.html. The search database is updated daily. The software is htdig 3.1.5 apache 1.3 running on a SPARCStation-4 with Solaris 8 (just in case you're interested...) Thanks to the Chair for Computer Architecture (http://ira.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/) who provide both the hardware and the bandwidth the search engine is available again. regards -- jochen
