You can get a list of the supported Artec scanners at



http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-ARTEC-ULTIMA



1. What sort of SCSI card do you have?  

2. Is the scanner being recognised during system startup? (check
/var/log/dmesg by doing 'less /var/log/dmeg')

3. If so, is /dev/scanner being created and is the symbolic point to a
generic SCSI device such as /dev/sg0 and the group permissions on that
device should be the scanner group



i.e.

ls -l /dev/scanner

ls -l /dev/sg?



4.  If the above checks out, what happens when you do 



sane-find-scanner



and if that doesn't find it



sudo sane-find-scanner



If that finds it add yourself to the scanner group
(System/Administration/Users and Groups )
