Scanner MUSTEK 1248 UB on Ubuntu

by | 30 January 2014 | Linux | 7 comments

I have an old scanner Mustek 1248UB and I decided to use it on my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Of course after plugged it in USB it doesn’t work, so I found solution in the internet. BTW Mustek 1248UB is still very popular scanner.

You have to download file SBSfw.usb into a /usr/share/sane/gt68xx directory.

If you don’t have this directory, don’t worry and simply create it.

Copy of this file is on my private server here.

Terminal:

cd /usr/share/sane/gt68xx
sudo wget http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/SBSfw.usb
