I just got a plustek optic book 3800. I also just reinstalled Ubuntu on my dell machine.
- I don't know if I have "sane" or not, or what it is or how it works.
- The plustek optic book 3600 is listed with "basic" support on the the SANE page, but the 3800 is not listed anywhere. I'm hoping they're the same?
- My scanner plugs in with a USB and the offial documentation says it's supposed to just work
...but it doesn't. Nothing happens whatsoever.
SO! Question! How do I make it work? Please tell me how do I make it work starting with a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Please assume I am comfortable in a terminal, but don't know what any of the fancy ubuntu language like "backend" means. Please also explain what you mean when you say things like "verify that the settings in etc etc etc are correct" -- I need more details than that!
Thanks!
