from what i've read, i just need to add a line like 'usb 0x055f 0x040b' to the configuration file. i already have a bunch of config files in /etc/sane.d. however, mustek_usb2 doesn't seem to have a configuration file according to the man page[1]. just mustek_usb does (mustek_usb.conf). i did try putting 'usb 0x055f 0x040b' in there for the heck of it but scanimage -L still isn't detecting it. is there something i need to run to reload the config files? i did also try clone'ing the sane-backends git repository, but i can't get past the configure script: sane-backends$ export BACKENDS="mustek_usb2" sane-backends$ ./configure [...] *** mustek_usb2 backend requires pthread library - aborting libpthread-stubs0-dev is already the newest version (0.1-2). 1. http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-mustek_usb2.5.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREIAAYFAkuoag4ACgkQXhfCJNu98qB5eACg9ZLyPpJOJlIDL4/nVd3RW8ub 2nwAn1leQDtYbkvqiHMx1Ncgnm2nmxOU =XK/6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
