I've installed a snapscan - I think from memory it's a 1212U.
I recall I had problems with an older version of Ubuntu.
I vaguely recall I had to find a firmware driver .bin file to upload to the scanner, but this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersAgfa says my scanner works "out of the box"
I think that initially I had to use gksu to run xsane, and once I'd got it working like that, I then tweaked the permissions on my users, and either ticked role "Permission to use scanner" and/or added the relevant users to group "Scanner"
These pages may help https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/printing/C/scanning.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo
Hope that helps. Steve
