If you needed to add your user to these groups, you should close your X session and log in again. An alternative would be to run `newgrp -` in a terminal to make an environment with the correct permissions and then launch your scanning utility with `DISPLAY=:0 simple-scan` from there.
A `fujitsu` `SANE_BACKEND` exists, but it is a trap, you really need the `epjitsu` one. Simple-scan is a simple gnome application which is very simple to use. I first tried xsane but it was not user friendly at all! A `fujitsu` `SANE_BACKEND` exists, but it is a trap, you really need the `epjitsu` one.

## The tricky part ## The tricky part
Nothing worked at this stage, the scanner was not detected by neither `simple-scan` nor `scanimage -L`, but `sane-find-scanner` could see it just fine. That is because we are missing a firmware which can be found on the [web archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20190217094259if_/https://www.josharcher.uk/static/files/2016/10/1300i_0D12.nal).

That's right you have got to live dangerously... Here is the sha1 of the file you should end up with if that can reassure you a bit: cde2a967d5048ca4301f5c3ad48397dac4a02dad.
