Hello. I've got Mustek BearPaw 2448 CU Pro scanner, and even though it's not yet supported, i wanted to give it a go. If i get it right, backend for this scanner or its chip already exists, but it's untested or something.. Anyway, it can only work from unstable version, so i removed my package sane-backends, and compiled sane from sources - the ones dated 2008-11-04.
Compile and installation went fine, but my scanner is still not detected. I suppose i need to tell sane via its configuration file to autodetect my scanner, and to tell it where to look for actual backend, which i got from http://meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/. But here's the problem: i can't find any of sane configuration files. When i used sane from package, configuration files were in /etc/sane.d. As i reinstalled sane from sources, they are just gone. So please help me find them and i'll do my best to make this device work. Here's some output i'm getting from sane: [silence at localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Fri Oct 17 14:52:14 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [silence at localhost ~]$ /usr/local/bin/sane-find-scanner # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner.

If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages). [silence at localhost ~]$ P.S. It looks to me like sane can see two scanners instead of one which is actually connected. I wonder why is that and which one of those two is correct one? -- Igor G Novikov <septagramm at gmail.com>
