Hi:

I installed Sane on my Debian GNU/Linux system but apparently
don't manage to make it work.
After installing Sane with: `apt-get install sane', I did:

 # sane-find-scanner

and got the following output:

 found USB scanner (vendor=0x05d8, product=0x4002, chip=GT-6801) at libusb:001:003

. Then I did:

 # scanimage -h

, and:

 [gt68xx] Couldn't open firmware file (neither `/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb' nor `/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ps1fw.usb'): No such file or directory
 scanimage: open of device gt68xx:libusb:001:003 failed: Invalid argument
 Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.

 List of available devices:
     gt68xx:libusb:001:003


. Then I did:

 # scanimage -d gt68xx:libusb:001:003 --format tiff > file.tif

and:

 [gt68xx] Couldn't open firmware file (neither `/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb' nor `/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/ps1fw.usb'): No such file or directory
 scanimage: open of device gt68xx:libusb:001:003 failed: Invalid argument


Could you Sane listers provide any help in order to make my USB
Boeder SmartScan work?

Thanks in advance,
Rodolfo
