Hello.
I have a business card scanner from Penpower that scans cards up to 4x6
inches that I would like to have work with xsane, or any other scanning
program that can be used with Linux. I looking for a best way to attack
the problem to make this work. sane-find-scanner can locate the hardware
but xsane won't recognize the scanner. I need to know where to start
solve the problem. I've attached info from several sources below. Shows
up as a Plustek with possibly a GT-6816 chip. Thanks in advance. Any
suggestions?

this is not a GT-6801 (bDeviceClass = 0)
checking for GT-6816 ...
Couldn't set configuration: could not set config 1: Operation not
