[sane-devel] mustek A3 1200 usb pro

[giampaolo ferradini]

hi guys,

i would be interested in being able to run the above scanner natively (i'm
using fedora 14), and as far as my understanding goes it is so far
unsupported.  i would be willing to put up some money for the job, up to
50$.

the hw is seen when plugged into the usb port (lsusb results is "Bus 001
Device 006: ID 055f:040b Mustek Systems, Inc. ") but is not recognized at
all by "simple scan" nor by xsane add-on in gimp.

i'm not very experienced, actually, but more than willing to help with more
data.  in the past i wrote a few more details in this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/mustek-a3-1200-usb-pro-seen-but-invisible-866934/

solid arguments to develop support for this piece of hardware are that it
probably is one of the very few A3 scanners that can be purchased at a
reasonable cost, many help requests can be found googling the topic, and a
few more can be found in this post:
http://www.averyjparker.com/2010/06/19/mustek-scanexpress-a3-usb-1200-pro/
(actually the author of the post claimed he would be willing to commit some
$$ too...)

hope to hear back from someone able & willing to help :-)

cheers,
giampaolo
