I recently bought a scanner from CZUR because it was to support Linux.
Well, they only supplied a binary .deb package.

This solution is going to suffer bit-rot.  It was a mistake thinking that
this scanner supports Linux in a meaningful way.

I see people claiming many CZUR scaners are just UVC devices, and that
there exists programs that can capture from that, like guvcview and a
few others.

If it helps I found a page from two years ago where some asked about using a CZUR scanner. That page said they had installed and ran the Windows software using Wine but the driver was still an issue. That page pointed to a web page from four years earlier that said it is a UVC device. That page has some information about using the scanner. If it helps, the page is at:

The scanner has no support in XSane? Is there any support for it in VueScan?
