Umax AstraSlim SE is not working correctly

[Mathieu Alorent]

Binary package hint: libsane

Hi,

My Scanner, a Umax AstraSlim SE is not working correctly. The Images all look like
this: http://alorent.com/Capture-Apercu_AstraSlim_SE.png
under http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-UMAX the
Scanner is reported with Status "Good".

I found the solution here : http://<email address hidden>/msg01185.html

I had to :
- download the firmware here http://www.google.fr/search?hs=qja&hl=fr&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Afr%3Aunofficial&q=download+Artec48.usb&btnG=Rechercher&meta= or get it from from the cd.

- replace my existing /etc/sane.d/artec_eplus48u.conf with this one :

====== 8< cut here ======
# The USB section:
# each device needs at least the following line:
# usb vendor-ID and product-ID
# Every device configuration in this file must begin with an usb entry.
usb 0x05d8 0x4009

#
# Path to the firmware file
# This file comes with the Windows driver
# The scanner won't work without it
#

option artecFirmwareFile /usr/share/sane/firmware/Artec48.usb

#
# for adjusting the default gamma values
#

#Use this options to set the default offset and exposure time values.

option redOffset 0x28
option greenOffset 0x2f
option blueOffset 0x2f
option redExposure 0xac
option greenExposure 0x122
option blueExposure 0xeb

====== cut 8< ======

hope this will help...
(same problem with dapper, however, the solution was not tested on it..)

This howto works perfectly. Please include the listing above into the mainstream!

The file Artec48.usb I use is the one found under the "Win98" directory of the CD.

Mathieu Alorent, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Is this an issue in a supported release? If so, could you please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
