plustek 4830p isn't detect using xsane in gimp. plustek backend doesn't work.

[zenic62]

Installed sane backend and libieee1284 tested parallel port configured in ecp+epp mode at the standard address 378 respond like this:
parport_pc 32006 1
parport 36664 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp
Using gimp xsane don't find any device.
Tested the configuration file for the backend in direct mode and not in kernel mode because i don't know how to find the source files for compiling the kernel.
Thanks in advance best Regards

Thanks

Seems you need the same-plustek package apparently. You could report a bug

I have downloaded the plustek sane from:
The device-driver is currently not part of the SANE distribution. It has to be downloaded from:
http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html
I have extracted it but i don't understand where i have to place every single directory.
Before my question searching about my troubles i found from sane that the sequent files must be in this locations:

FILES
_____________________________
/etc/sane.d/plustek_pp.conf
The backend configuration file
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek_pp.a
The static library implementing this backend.
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-plustek_pp.so
The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems
that support dynamic loading).
/lib/modules/<Kernel-Version>/kernel/drivers/parport/pt_drv.o
The Linux kernelmodule for kernels < 2.6.x.
/lib/modules/<Kernel-Version>/kernel/drivers/parport/pt_drv.ko
The Linux kernelmodule for kernels >= 2.6.x.

But this informations are not correponding to the extracted directories from the url http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/plustek.html.

If you can help me more, and explain me where I fail or where is the misunderstanding.
Thank you so much

Try:

sudo apt-get install libsane-extras
zenic62 (zenic62) said on 2012-04-24: #8

I have installed all the packages listed in the attached file that i suppose are all is needed by sane.
So i think that all packages are installed as you can see below:

tubuntu@sevenpc0000:~$ sudo apt-get install libsane-extras

zenic62, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

To see if this is already resolved, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results?
