Hi John,
you will need to get the latest snapscan backend from the link above.
I have not built a version recently, but I have my snapscan 1212U working
(most of the time) with sane 1.0.3. I think it is probably worth trying sane
1.0.4 that has just been released and the latest snapscan backend. This
scanner still seems to need some tweaking... Its great to have another user
who can help with testing, debugging and generally thrashing out problems
with the backend. There are several other users on this list with the
1212U... there seem to be 2 versions, one that needs firmware downloads
(known as the 1212u_2 and the older 1212u that seems to have rommed
firmware.
The guys on this list seem to be quite helpful getting things running, but
it may take a few experiments.
Hope this helps
