I've done a ton of searching and all I've found seems geared to having your printer/scanner connected via USB cable in order to get the scanner working. I have the printer working wirelessly but thus far no go on the scanner.
I've downloaded and installed the scangearmp packages.
I've tried installing the sane package via git according to this blog (http://mp610.blogspot.com/2008/04/give-your-scanner-new-freshly-sane.html) but when I try to run configure I see this:
*** mustek_usb2 backend requires pthread library - disabling
and usb isn't listed among the installed backends. I don't even know whether I need usb because this is wireless, but after compiling I run scanimage -L and nothing comes up.
I'm still a Linux newb, and have learned a ton in the past couple of days, but this one is stumping me.
Can anyone offer some clues/hints/advice?
Thanks in advance!
ETA: this is for Ubuntu 10.10, 64 bit
