Plustek OpticFilm 8200i
I have this slide/negative scanner connected via USB to my PC, but am having problems with it being made available under Mint 20.2 Uma.
I've installed XSane and used it Stand Alone and also through GIMP. Neither sees it - only my Canon All-In-One is detected. I've listed all USB devices connected to the PC and the Plustek is there.

Did some web searches and tried the following . .
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the scanner working under Mint please?bfg@bfg-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo sane-find-scanner
