Howto: Install Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner on Ubuntu 11.10

I’ve been using my old Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner since Ubuntu 8.10 and it serves me well through each version of Ubuntu, for my needs anyway. The only problem I have with this device is installation after upgrading OS (I prefer clean install). It is so simple to forget and I’ve decided to write a little script, so I don’t need to search the web every time. And someone even might find it useful.

sudo apt-get install sane sudo mkdir /usr/share/sane/gt68xx

• Plug in your scanner.
• Copy and paste the script content in any text editor and save it to Home folder as mustek1200UB.sh

Script:

#!/bin/bash ################################################# # DESCRIPTION: Mustek UB1200 Plus setup on Ubuntu # DATE: 2011.10.23 # AUTHOR: ssnjara ################################################# #navigate to proper directory cd /usr/share/sane/gt68xx echo "Driver firmware download directory is:" pwd echo "Starting downlad. " sleep 2 #download driver firmware file sbfw.usb sudo wget http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/sbfw.usb cd /etc/sane.d/ sleep 2 echo "Seting up /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf file" #search the string in file and replace it sudo sed -i.backup -e 's/^#override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"/override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"/' gt68xx.conf sleep 2 echo "Device should be ready for use!"

sudo chmod +x mustek1200UB.sh

That’s it. Scanner is ready to use.

Howto: Mustek 1200 UB Plus USB Scanner Install / Setup

An easy, cut and paste way to get The Mustek 1200 UB Plus USB Scanner or one of it’s clones working in Ubuntu Breezy through Ubuntu Maverick and beyond.

Open the Terminal(Applications>Accessories>Terminal), copy and paste the following one at a time.

To get to the proper directory:

sudo wget http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/sbfw.usb

sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf

#override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"

override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus"

That’s all there is to it, now you can go to Applications>Graphics>XSane Image Scanner(or SimpleScan) to scan your images.
Enjoy!!

The only thing better would be a script to do it for you

Re: Howto: Mustek 1200 UB Plus USB Scanner Install / Setup

i tried but it didn’t work for me, i keep getting the «no devices available» message. i have the MUSTEK PLUG-N-SCAN 1200 USB. it was still in the box (and wrapped in plastic) when i bought it last week and i’ve got the cd’s that came with it, but i can’t seem to figure out how to make the thing work with my ubuntu 6.06. just to see if it works i tried it on my old windows98 laptop and it installed and scanned well.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try loading sane and xsane, then add the libsane and libsane-extras files. I needed these to get my Mustek model 4800 running.

Re: Howto: Mustek 1200 UB Plus USB Scanner Install / Setup

I am trying to get my Mustek Scanmagic 1200USB working.

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 055f:0003 Mustek Systems, Inc. ScanExpress 1200 USB

I have followed the above instructions but Xsane reports «no devices available»

found USB scanner (vendor=0x055f, product=0x0003, chip=MA-1017) at libusb:004:003
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend’s manpage.

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages)

I am not sure what to do next — any ideas?

Mustek 1200 ub plus

Post by lego86 » Thu Jan 19, 2012 5:57 am

Hi everyone,
I tried to install my «Mustek 1200 UB Plus» scanner on Linux Mint Katya.

I have downloaded this file: http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx . e/sbfw.usb, /usr/share/sane/gt68xxcopied it into this folder:

and edited a configuration file.

At this stage, when I run Simple Scan it tells me that connection with the scanner is unavailable.

You mean the «Mustek ScanExpress/ScanMagic 1200 UB PLUS» scanner? Don’t confuse it with the «USB PLUS» flavour which does not have any Linux support.

You indeed need sbfw.usb for this printer. Make sure that you’ve given the proper permissions to the file with:

chmod a+r /usr/share/sane/gt68xx/sbfw.usb

The /usr/share/sane/gt68xx folder is already present on stock Mint 12 systems as an empty folder so I assume it’s the right place.

Установка драйверов Mustek 1200 UB Plus на линукс и XP

Стоял у дочки Mustek 1200 UB, который по техническим причинам надо было заменить на Mustek 1200 UB Plus. Оказалось, что это не просто разные сканеры, а вообще разные сканеры. На компьютере установлено две операционки: Linux Mint и Windows XP. Ставим драйвера:

Под linu mint я пользовался инструкцией. Там только одна неточность была mkdir -p надо было

sudo apt-get install sane
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/sane/gt68xx

Дале создаём файл mustek1200UB.sh с содержанием:

#!/bin/bash
######################################## #########
# DESCRIPTION: Mustek UB1200 Plus setup on Ubuntu
# DATE: 2011.10.23
# AUTHOR: ssnjara
######################################## #########
#navigate to proper directory
cd /usr/share/sane/gt68xx
echo «Driver firmware download directory is:»
pwd
echo «Starting downlad…»
sleep 2
#download driver firmware file sbfw.usb
sudo wget http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/firmware/sbfw.usb
cd /etc/sane.d/
sleep 2
echo «Seting up /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf file»
#search the string in file and replace it
sudo sed -i.backup -e ‘s/^#override «mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus»/overri de «mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus»/’ gt68xx.conf
sleep 2
echo «Device should be ready for use!»

Делаем его исполняемым и исполняем:

sudo chmod +x mustek1200UB.sh
./mustek1200UB.sh

Как бы после этого под линуксом сканер уже работает.

Под windows xp я пользовался готовым пакетом. Скачать и указать этот каталог в качестве источника для установки драйверов.
