[sane-devel] Failing to test Mustek 1200 UB plus

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Ralph,

you are right. I had to do 2 things:

1. Uncomment in /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf:
# Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus:
override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"
2. Get SBfw.usb (instead PS1fw.usb) from here:
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/

I used this artikle: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Scanner/gt68xx/

With scanimage and Simple Scan the scanner works fine, but XSane crashes
always, after the scan has completed.
See: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/issues/15
Unfortunately I'm unable to upload the crash report, as it is > 10 MB,
it is 25.6 MB.
