The Artec backend works best with the AT3 model since that's what I have,
I even have the same firmware revision as you. I'm wondering if it has
anything to do with the sense handler. I have received other reports of
this causing problems a while back.

You can try turning it off by doing a couple things.... Find the following
section of code in artec.c:

-----------------------------------------------------------
"AT3", "flatbed",
8.3, 11, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 0, 8, 55, 32768,
ARTEC_FLAG_CALIBRATE_RGB |
ARTEC_FLAG_RGB_LINE_OFFSET |
ARTEC_FLAG_RGB_CHAR_SHIFT |
ARTEC_FLAG_GAMMA_SINGLE |
ARTEC_FLAG_SEPARATE_RES |
ARTEC_FLAG_SENSE_HANDLER |
ARTEC_FLAG_ONE_PASS_SCANNER,
"50,100,200,300", "50,100,200,300,600"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Comment out the line that says "ARTEC_FLAG_SENSE_HANDLER", that will disable
the sense handler for the AT3. Then go find the first place where
sanei_scsi_open is called like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
DBG (6, "attach: opening %s\n", devname);

status = sanei_scsi_open (devname, &fd, sense_handler, 0);
if (status != SANE_STATUS_GOOD)
{
DBG (1, "attach: open failed (%s)\n", sane_strstatus (status));
-----------------------------------------------------------

Change the "sense_handler" on the sanei_scsi_open line to a plain "0" (zero).
That will disable the sense handler being used while trying to detect what
kind of scanner you have.

Can you try that and see if it works?
