Description THE LoW 2007-06-08 17:34:07 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The Scanners based on the Grandtech GT-68xx chipset (mine is a Mustek UB 1200 Plus, specifically) need an additional firmware-image to work with Sane.

(see http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ for further info)

If this image isn't found, xsane reports correctly:

"[gt68xx] Couldn't open firmware file (`/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/PS1fw.usb'): No such file or directory"

However, Kooka reports the whole Sane installation as missing.

It would be a lot more helpful if Kooka recognized firmware missing and gave instructions on how to get the scanner working.

regards

Harald
