That's what you need for a first try (color mode will produce ugly

I know, I have the same model, with the AB306N special interface card etc...
Generate a file mustek.conf (in /usr/local/etc/sane.d on my host,
depends on what you have configured; you may use the distributed
mustek.conf in the backends directory as a template), and instead of
a device name (such as /dev/scanner), put a I/O base-address in it.
There are 8 possible I/O bases where the card can be configured
to reside (see sanei/sanei_ab306n.c) :
0x26b, 0x2ab, 0x2eb, 0x22b, 0x32b, 0x36b, 0x3ab, 0x3eb
Put one of these (in hexadecimal notation as shown) on a line by itself
into the file mustek.conf. I use 0x32b, but it depends on your
configuration (It's always good to know what I/O addresses are already
used).

Ok, now, you can execute :
xscanimage mustek
or, you may first try
scanimage --help --device=mustek
Optionally, do a
export SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK=2
to see what's going on (The ID and Firmware revision will be reported).
The scanner should be switched on in both cases. Ignore messages about
a SCSI device that cannot be opened.
Hope this helps.
Andreas.
