I have the same scanner, and I am using it under Xsane-Ubuntu since 3 years. The developer Mustek it has a closed driver for linux:
http://www.mustek.com.tw/apprg/countdriverdownloadtimes?LINK=ftp://ftp.mustek.com.tw/pub/driver/A3IIIU2/1200DPI/Linux/1LV1019/libsane_1.0.19-1_i386.deb&DRIVERFILEID=450 Unfortunately this is very old, so it is not compatible with the latest sane library. I tried before to ask any programmer to help integrate it in official libsane, bot without success. I even tried to ask the developer to help us write an open driver, but I got no answer from Mustek for it. On 32 bit linux it is also possible to copy the upper libsane_1.0.19-1_i386.deb package backend element in the configuration folder of xsane. On 64 bit there is no solution found by me. But I am interested, if exist one. I have just one single problem: after install it does not recognize the scanner, just in sudo mode. You must change the usb:001:011 folder privileges to let you free acces. I attached a screenshot with the scanning window of xsane with Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro. So I am very interested about news on this theme. I wish this scanner to be recognized and usable automatically in linux!
