You will need the following loaded as modules or compiled in kernel:
usbcore
usb-uhci (or ohci, or whatever type of usb chipset you have)
scanner
Then obtain the following:
sane-backends-1.0.11.tar.gz
http://www.mostang.com/sane/source.html
plustek-sane-0.45-5.tar.gz
http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
Create a directory named 'sane' somewhere
unpack your sane-backends-1.0.11.tar.gz into the sane directory
cd into the new <path-to>sane/sane-backends1.0.11 directory unpack your plustek-sane tarball into the <path-to>sane/sane-backends1.0.11 directory
Read the <path-to>sane/sane-backends1.0.11/doc/plustek/Plustek-USB.txt and follow it and you should be set. The instructions are extremely simple and worked great for me. Be careful as the default /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf file has the device as
/etc/usbscanner0, but you will want /etc/usb/scanner0, I think, so edit it if need be.
I seem to remember that even after editing /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf, a simple 'modprobe scanner' didn't work.
Include the vendor ID and product ID in /etc/modules.conf:
options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011d
----------------------------------------
gentoo-specific
I created a /etc/modules.d/plustek-epson file with the following line in it:
options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011d
Then ran update-modules to have Gentoo incorporate it into my /etc/modules.conf
end gentoo-specific
----------------------------------------
Oh and I think some of the documentation gives these ID's as 048b and 011d, respectively. I couldn't get it to work unless I used 0x048b and 0x011d in all instances
run 'sane-find-scanner' to verify that all is working, and then, of course scan something!
Oh, and I exported my CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS before doing any of the ./configure steps. Once I had sane able to find my scanner, I got the xsane tarball and manually compiled/installed that. Then link the xsane binary to ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins/xsane to use xsane as a Gimp plugin.
