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
