[GRLUG] sane-artec eplus48u

[Godwin]

Yeah, I mistyped a bit "libusb-0.1-4 "...   It looks like linux sees your
scanner alright.  In the config file, it states the path to the firmware.
It has to match the actual location of the file.  Copy the firmware to the
location in the file (case sensitive) and try it again Jordan.
