Hi. I've got the same scanner, and had the same problem.
Hopefully you'll have found the /etc/sane.d directory, the
artec_eplus48u.conf configuration file, and put the "Artec48.usb" file
in /usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/, like it asks.
I must admit that I thought I'd done that, and was still getting the
error message.
Some research lead me to man sane-artec_eplus48u and the
SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC_EPLUS48U environment variable.
Running
export SANE_DEBUG_ARTEC_EPLUS48U=9
xsane
gave a whole bunch of output, including
[artec_eplus48u] Try to open firmware file: "/usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/Artec48.usb"
[artec_eplus48u] Cannot open firmware file "/usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/1200.usb"
[artec_eplus48u] download_firmware_file failed
A bit of headscratching lead me to realise that I'd mis-spelled the
directory. Whoops!
In any case, I hope this helps. I hope the export variable helps you
track down what's going wrong for you.
James.
YOU ARE THE MAN!! i was stuck, and then i read the feedback (did the
debug thing), and it read there was a directory that it wanted thtat
wasn't there. i had merely put the usb file in /usr/share/sane, i didn't
realize i was supposed to put that
/artec_eplus48u/
on there too!!! sweet!!!
