I did everything you recommended and have some progress.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a7 [Xerox], product=0x04ac [Travel Scanner
100], chip=GL842) at libusb:001:008

scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname CKF7037 virtual device
device `genesys:libusb:001:009' is a Visioneer Readwarrior flatbed
scanner
But scanimage -T shows error:
scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument
xsane stars and detects scanner and I could even scan 1 page more or
less correctly(colors and quality is awful) but i couldn't scan another
page it was not shown.
What can I do more to correct all these problems and make this device
fully functional ?
