Wow, yes. I have understand.

I have install the tar ball plustek-sane 0.44 with no problmes.

I think, all is okay. But xsane/xscanimage don't find my scanner!

Some thinks, with I have do:

Change the /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf
[usb] 0x4b8 0x11d
device /dev/usb/scanner0

Vendor, ProdID and Device are correct.

Change the /etc/modules.conf
options scanner vendor=0x4b8 product=0x11d

Load also the module with:
modprobe scanner vendor=0x4b8 product=0x11d

Janny:~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
scanner                 8448   0      <-- hmmm, the scanner is conneted
[...]

Disconnected and connected the scanner ...
Janny:~ # tail -f /var/log/messages
[...]

Janny:~ # sane-find-scanner
sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x011d) 
at device /dev/usb/scanner0

It's all good, or?! Yes! It is. I have also restart the computer.

But xsane stoped with an error, because it can't find a scanner. 
xscanimage, too. Who can find the error?


thanks for all
  martin
