Usually that's no problem but the umax1220u backend seems to insist on this identification. There is a line #ifndef NO_AUTODETECT in the code (backend/umax1220u-common.c). Try #define NO_AUTODETECT and recompile. Maybe that's enough to get it running. Probably the maintainer of this backend can tell more details. You may also try the CVS version of sane-backends which has support for libusb. This may work (if you have installed libusb). Otherwise I guess the backend must be changed. Bye, Henning
