    Hi!

    Your obviously using the new "Aldi" scanner. To check this run

    # SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128 scanimage -T

    the old (working) scanner reports

    attach: asic id: 0xa5 ccd: 00

    and the new reports

    attach: asic id: 0xa5 ccd: 01

    Support for the new version will be added soon...
