Hello there!
I have a strange problem. I own a Mustek A3 2400S scanner and after
overwriting the SANE backend with Mustek's 32-bit driver I was able to
have it communicating with my computer (Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca). I also
had to change some USB permissions in a udev rule and assign me to the
"scanner" group - after that I could communicate with the scanner
non-root too. But while XSane scans works fine, I have not managed to
get it to work with even more simpler "scanimage" command, I tried a lot
of different arguments to it too. It's making strange sounds etc.,
almost as it's trying to override the hardware specs (with Mustek on
Linux you have to be careful). And of course, no actual scans.
So how come XSane manages to scan properly whereas scanimage CLI will
not? Does XSane use some parameters/driver not included in my
"scanimage" command?
I'm pretty sure I will turn my scanner into a toaster if I don't get
this right soon - so any suggestions would be helpful! If you wonder why
I insist on using scanimage instead of a GUI it's because I'm writing a
bash script for batch processing.
