The Memorex MEM48u has been reported to work with the artec_eplu48u backend, but IIRC no one told me, that it has a different product ID. Unfortunately, the backend isn't included in sane-1.0.9, therefore you should download the latest version from http://www.mostang.com/sane (sane-backends-1.0.11.tar.gz). Compile and install it. Afterwards, take a look at the file artec_eplus48u.conf. Change e.g. the line usb 0x05d8 0x4003 to usb 0x05d8 0x4005 and add the path to the firmware in line option artecFirmwareFile <path>/Artec48.usb Please let me know, whether it works. bb Michael
