[sane-devel] gt68xx: Everything works but scanimage fails

Hi all,

after I was told some month ago on this list, I should
buy a new scanner and forget my old Mustek Scanner,
I did so (and for our Institute). For days I'm trying to
install it . . . but I fail.
    I got a Mustek BearPaw 2400CU Plus and did the
following:

- installed SANE 1.0.10-1 as deb-Package from
  deb http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/SANE stable main
  (I'm missing man sane-gt68xx.conf)

- installed Kernel 2.4.21pre4 as recommended on
  Henning's SANE-Page

- installed scanner-driver-2.4.21 from the same page
  (not necessary as I saw later in the night =))

- copied the firmware (ps2fw.usb) to /usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/

- to be sure put firmware "/usr/local/share/sane/gt68xx/ps2fw.usb"
  in gt68xx.conf

- added /dev/usbscanner0 in gt68xx.conf (but made no
  difference)

- $ mknod /dev/usbscanner0 c 180 48

- $ chmod a+rw /dev/usbscanner0

- $ mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb

- $ modprobe scanner vendor=0x055f product=0x021d

Hope, that I didn't forget anything on the list . . . After
all that, usbview works, $ cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers says:

         usbdevfs
         hub
 48- 63: usbscanner

and $ sane-find-scanner gives:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f, product=0x021d) at /dev/usbscanner0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f, product=0x021d [USB Scanner]) at
libusb:002:002

BUT: $ scanimage -L can not identify any scanner.
Did I forget something? What's wrong? Can somebody
help me? Thanks!

Greetings,

Christoph
