Moin Reinhard,

welcome to the wonderful world of Reflecta/PIE interfaces. ;-)

Please run
  export SANE_DEBUG_PIEUSB=11
in a shell and then start xsane from there.

This should report the model number. Add it to pieusb.conf and you
should be all set.

Please add 'GROUP="lp",' to this list to give you full access to the
usb device.

That's the old format and insufficient for your device.

Your version of 'sane' is too old.

Awesome, you're all set. The 'model number' is the only missing part.

Nothing. You just happen to be the first to use this scanner.
