My Experience : I bought a Iriscan Experss 2 scanner. After several trys, I made it work and here is my confiuration
File GT68xx.conf in /etc/sane.d/ : usb 0x07b3 0x045f override "plustek-opticslim-m12" firmware /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/cism216.fw I copyed the firmware file to /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ I had to play with usb permission to get it work without sudo. I changed the right of /dev/bus/usb/002/ witch is the usb port used by the scanner, making myself the new owner. The scanner work with GIMP, XSANE, GSCAN2PDF. The only thing is that I have warning messages at xsane startup : [gt68xx] WARNING: You have manually added the ids of your scanner [gt68xx] to gt68xx.conf. Please use an appropriate override [gt68xx] for your scanner. Use extreme care and switch off [gt68xx] the scanner immediately if you hear unusual noise. [gt68xx] Please report any success to [gt68xx] sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide as many [gt68xx] details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your [gt68xx] scanner, ids, settings etc. Is there anyway to take it out ? Many Thanks.
