Hi,

The scanner is currently not supported by the SnapScan backend (to be 
honest I didn't yet know it existed).

The USB IDs of the scanner have to be added to snapscan.conf. 
Additionally the ID string(s) of the scanner have to be added in 
snapscan.h, if it behaves very differently from other scanners the 
sourcecode needs changes, too.

Can you provide more info? What would be helpful is the output from 
lspci, the output from "acerfirm -q" before firmware upload and the 
output from "acerfirm -v <firmware_filename>"

You can get the latest version of acerfirm from 
http://snapscan.sf.net/acerfirm 
Running "acerfirm -q" will give you a hint on which firmware file to 
use. See http://snapscan.sf.net for more details on firmware etc.
