Hi All.
I’ve recently updated my old Mint installation to v21.1 and have hit an issue with my scanner, to whit I can’t get Mint to see the Artec driver files. This has occurred before - please see the link below.

I’ve tried following the instructions that Mark (RIP) gave previously but the link to the Peppermint site no longer works, so that part of the method is out. However, I do have the driver files in my saved (old) Mint which are now copied to my new desktop. My problem is, in following Mark’s method (leaving out the ‘getting of the files from Peppermint’) I get an error message in terminal saying no such file…

It’s been so long since I’ve needed to do this, I’ve forgotten how to make Mint ‘see’ the appropriate file. Any ideas?
TIA, Rich
