It's in our lists.

No, but it's not possible to find out which of these scanners are
connected by software. They all use the same USB id.

You must manually tell the backend which scanner is connected
("override"). Please see the website and "man sane-gt68xx" for details.

Read the man page and install the firmware.

The scanner may have worked once because you had run Windows before
that and the firmware was already loaded.
