    Question How to run scanner BearPaw 1200cs on Ubuntu

    Hi, i was given a scanner Mustec BearPaw 1200 CS [so it is written on its panel]. I have plugged it in, pressed: Applications >Graphics > Xsane immage scanning program. in the window that apears, there is the choise:
    Mustec BearPaw 2448 TA Flatbed scanner [gt68xx:libsub:004:002]
    [why is it there is a discrepancy with the model's number?]
    when i mark the button for that [the other choice is for video camera], and clich OK, i get the following small window message:
    Eror
    Faile to open device
    gt68xx:libsub:004:002: invalid argument.
    What is this? how to overcome it?
    Thanks for any Help.

    Sorry about late reply but I had the same problem in 2008 on Ubuntu 8.04. I've recently bought a new PC and have been getting it up to speed on Ubuntu 10.04.
    Digging deep I found an old forum message of mine at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903645 message #5.
    This is what I did today to get my BearPaw 1200CS working:
    Copied file A1fw.usb from installation CD to desktop
    Opened a terminal and ran the following command lines:
    Code:
    mike@mike-i3-notebook:~$ sudo cp /home/mike/Desktop/A1fw.usb /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/
    [sudo] password for mike:
    mike@mike-i3-notebook:~$ sudo chmod a+r /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/A1fw.usb
    mike@mike-i3-notebook:~$
