I recently bought a scanner from CZUR because it was to support Linux. Well, they only supplied a binary .deb package. [snip] This solution is going to suffer bit-rot. It was a mistake thinking that this scanner supports Linux in a meaningful way.
I see people claiming many CZUR scaners are just UVC devices, and that there exists programs that can capture from that, like guvcview and a few others.
If it helps I found a page from two years ago where some asked about using a CZUR scanner. That page said they had installed and ran the Windows software using Wine but the driver was still an issue. That page pointed to a web page from four years earlier that said it is a UVC device. That page has some information about using the scanner. If it helps, the page is at: http://www.johnwillis.com/2016/04/czur-scannerscanning-with-linux.html The scanner has no support in XSane? Is there any support for it in VueScan? -- Cheers!
