I want a scanner. I found one I like. I then checked the SANE
'Supported Scanners' list. My scanner is there:

"Perfection V300 Photo     USB     0x04b8/0x0131   good    requires DFSG 
non-free
esci-interpreter-gt-f720<br>overseas version of the GT-F620"

I'm not sure what the 'requires DFSG...' business is about

Possibly the scanner requires a firmware download. The Handbook scanner example shows how to do that, but I think it's more involved with that scanner. It appears that Luigi Rizzo ported the required software; see

and the link to his port
