[Dr. Harry Knitter]

Thanks fro your reply, Alan

I did export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=20; xscanimage > foo.pnm & 2>&1

here the result:
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of mustek to 20.

sane-find-scanner gives me:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f [Hewlett-Packard.        ], product=0x0409 
[USB2.0 Scanner            ]) at libusb:001:006

In all configuration files I read I found 0x55f for Mustek and 0x0409 for 
BearPaw 2448TA Pro, the scanner that is attached to my machine.

The vendor and scanner name sane-find-scanner reports to me do not interest me 
at all. However, how can I persuade sane to get the right backend for my 
scanner?
