Hi Tim,
I have a 1212u (newer version that needs firmware upload). I have been
having some problems with 1.0.3 getting color images to scan properly... I
am working on a fix... It now seems to be working, but there is some
discussion as to why it works... looking deeper for more bugs. You may want
to try sane 1.0.1. My scanner worked out of the box with 1.0.1 patched with
the usb patch. Step by step instructions are found on
