At least with the gt68xx backend, when the scan slider doesn't move
and the image is dark that's usually a sign of the wrong firmware. But
you don't seem to have a choice, there is only "1200.usb"?

What's the optical resolution in X and in Y-direction? is it a
CIS-Scanner? Is it really the same as the e+ Pro?

You can try the gt68xx backend
(http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/), but I'm not sure
if it gives you better results. You must add "usb 0x05d8 0x4004" to
gt68xx.conf and edit backend/gt68xx_devices.c. There is some infor on
the webpage. I would start using the BearPaw 2400 CU Plus as sample,
so add (near the end of the file, before the {0, 0, NULL}):

  {0x05d8, 0x4004, &mustek_2400cuplus_model},

And tell us, what happens.

Bye,
