Hello everybody,
Related to Genius Vivid 1200 XE old scanner, can this advice on link bellow work? I tried, opened user folder as admin and created folders advised in attachment, but I am getting message that library can not be opened.

Hello Dragoljub,
try this (https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Scanner/gt68xx/&prev=search)

It worked now, but in the same way as first advise on first link. I was not making the right folders in right locations earlier. I created several folders Gt68xx on paths, usr/share/sane, then usr/share/sane/xsane, then, usr/local/share. I am not sure which one is important but it is solved.

It worked only once, then it broke:( when set to colour preview. It is an old and sensitive scanner and I moved it during scanning, lamp is on half.

Good to read you got it configured. :)
Do you think it is a hardware movement inside, or because it was moved during the scanning it stopped software process ?
Is there a setting to purge documents being scanned ?
Or maybe using Lite tweaks and clear cache memory can do it.
I hate to say it, unplug scanners power and plug it back in :-X
