It seems that the Mustek scanner worked for you more or less ‘out-of-the-box’, as it did for Moddit, without the complication of additional software.

Now you can power up the scanner at any time, even after your PC is booted already … If you want to be able to activate the scanner later only, from within a running system, you need to install an additional tool: sudo apt-get update In order to work, it is absolutely necessary to power on the scanner before you boot the system, otherwise it will not function. All I had to do in antiX 17.4.1 and 19.x was to connect the scanner device physically, set the jumpers/switches at its backside to Channel 0, ID 6, LUN 0.

Well, I can tell you I have working an Mustek Scan Express 12000 SP Scanner, which is connected via real SCSI port.
