Description:	usb only 1200 x 1200 dpi flatbed scanner comes with M$ based software and all cables plus a film negative carrier. Providing you have usb drivers and support install is easy. The Debian way is apt-get install sane xsane. I copied the file U192V074.bin, from the install cdrom that comes with the package, to /usr/local/bin and then edited /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf with the line; firmware /usr/local/bin/U192V074.bin Fired up xsane and it works very well

Scanner seems to work fine. At first i tried with firware version U192V073.bin and _xsane_ didn't find the scanner. I also checked group-statistics from /etc/group and added all users to sane- and scanner-groups. (Probably scanner-group would have been enough). Downloaded firmware version U192V074.bin and after a reboot (this was motherboard/usb-issue, not scanner related) xsane is alive.

Note that the scanner worked fine via shell, by using scanimage -command before the reboot (with U192V073.bin).

Note 2: Scanner drivers can be found from the http://support.benq.com NOT from the acer.com .
