[system: Ubuntu and the Visioneer 7300 / gt68xx/
So first, thanks to Henning for the fw file.
Now I am having trouble with permissions, I think. I can execute "scanimage"
as root, but not as a user; likewise "XSane Image scanning program" produces
"no devices available". If I run "sane-troubleshoot" as root, the scanner
works. But here is an excerpt from the log file from "sane-troubleshoot"
executed as a user:
...
[gt68xx] sane_init: config file line 203: trying to attach `usb 0x04a7 0x0444'
[gt68xx] attach: start: devp != NULL, may_wait = 0
[gt68xx] attach: trying to open device `libusb:001:002'
[gt68xx] gt68xx_device_new: enter
[gt68xx] gt68xx_device_new:: leave: ok
[gt68xx] gt68xx_device_open: enter: dev=0x8148958
[gt68xx] gt68xx_device_open: sanei_usb_open failed: Access to resource has been
denied
[gt68xx] attach: couldn't open device `libusb:001:002': Access to resource has
been denied
...
Other info:
Synaptic put the following files in directories different from what the
gt68xx.man says they should be (e.g. "/usr/share/" instead of
"/usr/local/share/"); I don't know if that's a problem.
1) "cis3R5B1.fw" is located at "/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/".
Permissions are -r--r--r--.
2) "gt68xx.conf" is located at "/etc/sane.d/".
Permissions are -rw-r--r--.
And I added a "firmware" line like so:
############################################################
# Autodetect Visioneer OneTouch 7300
usb 0x04a7 0x0444
firmware "/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/cis3R5B1.fw"
############################################################
3) "libsane-gt68xx.a": There is no static library (".a"), but there is one
named "libsane-gt68xx.la" located at "/usr/lib/sane/". Is ".la" a weird type
of static library?
Permissions are -rw-r--r--.
4) "libsane-gt68xx.so.1" and "libsane-gt68xx.so.1.0.15" are both located at
"/usr/lib/sane/".
Permissions are -rw-r--r--.
Also I've attached the log sane-troubleshoot log run as a user, not root.
Thanks for your help.

I've done now several hundred scans with this scanner with my
Linux box (based on SuSE 8.1, dual PIII-box, USB 1.1). What I
had to care about was:
- make sure that USB is working in general, that means that
access to USB memory sticks works, for example;
- make sure that libusb-0.1.10a was installed;
- install sane-backends-1.0.17
- install sane-frontends-1.0.14
with this setup, scanning worked, not all combinations of
resolution and depth, but what I needed did work (8-Bit
color and gray, 50dpi, 300dpi, 600dpi).
In addition I installed xsane-0.99 and had a quite comfortable
setup which fullfills my needs.
