Hi,

I have this old scanner here and want to test if it works on Ubuntu
18.04 64 bit.

I get:
$ lsusb
Bus 006 Device 006: ID 05d8:4002 Ultima Electronics Corp. Artec Ultima
2000 (GT6801 based)/Lifetec LT9385/ScanMagic 1200 UB Plus Scanner
$ scanimage -L
device `gt68xx:libusb:006:006' is a Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU flatbed scanner
$ scanimage -hA
Usage: scanimage [OPTION]...
[...........]
[gt68xx] Couldn't open firmware file
(`/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb'): No such file or directory
scanimage: open of device gt68xx:libusb:006:006 failed: Invalid argument
Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.

List of available devices:
    gt68xx:libusb:006:006

I guess, I'm missing the right backend. Where can I find it?
