Re: Problem mit Medion Scanner
Moin,
ich hab es mal mit dem MD9458 zum laufen gebracht und ein HowTo geschrieben.
ist etwas fummelig, aber das dürfte mit deinem Scanner auch tun:

How to get your scanner to work with sane
=========================================
using the example of the Medion MD 9458
1. install sane, in my case (ubuntu linux) with synaptic
2.connect your scanner to your pc and type in the console:
#sane-find-scanner
sane should hopefully find your scanner.
3. find out via
#man sane
you will be forwardet to other man-pages, in this case:
#man sane-mustec_usb
where you figure out by reading carefully that you actually need
#man sane-gt68xx
There you find what to do next
3. change the config-file (as root) for your scanner (according to the
information in the man-page) found in:
/etc/sane.d/
in this case the gt68xx.conf
accouding to the information in the man-page. In the case of the Medion MD
9458 uncomment the lines:
override "artec-ultima-2000"
vendor "Medion"
model "MD 9458"
and save the changes.
4. take the driver-disk of your scanner and find the xxx.usb for your scanner,
here the ePlus2k.usb and copy it to
/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/
making sure it is readable for everyone!
you can also try to download it under:
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx/
5. type in a console
#scanimage
if your scanner does something and you see a lot of garbage on the screen:
congratulations, your scanner works, that's it, Jump to point 7!
6. if you get a message telling you the .usb-file wasn't found, chane the name
to the one sane was looking for, in this case gt680xfw.usb
Now you can type
#scanimage
again an you shoud see the output of your scanner
7. Congratulations!
You should now be able to scan with a gui-frontend like xsane or kooka.
