To get it back you must reinstall sane after first purging it

  sudo apt-get purge sane
  sudo apt-get install sane

(If you don't purge, apt/dpkg will assume that you intentionally deleted
the config file and do not want it back.)


There's an alternative way -- sudo apt-get install sane --reinstall -d
will download the .deb into /var/cache/apt/archives, and then you can
open that .deb with Midnight Commander or file-roller and extract the
config file directly.

Looks like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/+bug/312296

We have a different gt68xx scanner in the office.  To get it to work
under Ubuntu all we had to do was download the firmware and put it under
/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/, no .conf changes necessary.

I've checked sane configuration on Ubuntu 12.04, and it has
configuration for "NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner" (usb 0x07b3 0x0462)
already in it, so I think all you need is to copy the firmware.
