[sane-devel] Microtek Slimscan C3 USB

[Karsten Festag]

Hi Josh,

Henning is guessing right so please follow his advice. The C3's were built in 
different variations so I haven' yet a report if your particular model works 
out of the box. But I think the chances are good because other C3's work 
well. Please do your setup in these steps:
-make the microtek kernel module recognize your scanner like Henning said.
-run sane-find-scanner; your scanner has to be reported, otherwise there is 
something wrong with your USB- or SCSI generic configuration
-try your favourite scan program (most people prefer xsane)
-in any case please make a logfile as described in the manpage sane-microtek2 
and send it to me. If you have problems I can see some details in the 
logfile.

Bye

Karsten
