Hi,

I have followed the indications from this site to recompile the backends:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckIfScannerIsClone

sane-find-scanner -v -v (To identify Id of the vendor, product and chipset)

Technologies Inc. SimpleScan)>

<trying to find out which USB chip is used>
    checking for GL84x ...
<This USB chip looks like a *GL842* (result from sane-backends 1.0.21)>
found USB scanner (vendor=0x1dcc [Document Capture Technologies Inc.],
product=0x4817 [SimpleScan], chip=GL842) at libusb:002:004



With the above information I found several possible compatible scanners with
chip GL841, even though this scanner has GL842 and it is not supported.

 /* GL841 devices */
  {0x04a7, 0x0474, &visioneer_xp300_model},
  {0x04a7, 0x0494, &visioneer_roadwarrior_model},
  {0x04a7, 0x049b, &visioneer_xp100_r3_model},
  {0x04a7, 0x04ac, &xerox_travelscanner_model},
  {0x04a9, 0x2213, &canon_lide_50_model},
  {0x04a9, 0x221c, &canon_lide_60_model},
  {0x07b3, 0x0900, &plustek_3600_model},
  {0x0a17, 0x3210, &pentax_dsmobile_600_model},
  {0x04f9, 0x2038, &pentax_dsmobile_600_model}, /* clone, only usb id is
different */
  {0x0a82, 0x4800, &syscan_docketport_485_model},
  {0x0a82, 0x4802, &syscan_docketport_465_model},
  {0x0a82, 0x4803, &syscan_docketport_665_model},
  {0x0a82, 0x480c, &syscan_docketport_685_model},
  {0x1dcc, 0x4810, &dct_docketport_487_model},
  {0x1dcc, 0x4812, &syscan_docketport_467_model},


I have tried with all the docketport and the scanner is recognized only by
those with the same vendor id 0x1dcc:

//Different vendor id (for example 0x0a82, 0x4802,
&syscan_docketport_465_model)
scanimage -L
    No scanners were identified.

//Same vendor id: 0x1dcc
scanimage -L
    device `genesys:libusb:002:007' is a DCT DocketPORT 487 flatbed scanner

But I get a warning and the scanner finally crashes:

    scanimage >image.pnm
      [genesys] WARNING: Your scanner is not fully supported or at least
      [genesys]          had only limited testing. Please be careful and
      [genesys]          report any failure/success to
      [genesys]          sane-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. Please provide
as many
      [genesys]          details as possible, e.g. the exact name of your
      [genesys]          scanner and what does (not) work.
      ...

Only Docketport 467 worked and it got to scan, however the image was
completely black and when I tried to scan again the scanner wasn't
recognized any longer.

I will do some more tests with this model and I have also contact the
manufacturer just in case they have a linux driver available. If I finally
get it to scan I will post it.

Thanks for your help! :)
