scanning with a Pantum M6600

[Shlomo Solomon]

I have a Pantum M6600 multifunction printer - USB only - no WiFi. 

Printing works fine on my Kubuntu box (after installing a driver). 

I can also scan using xsane or gscantopdf.

But when I press the physical scan button on the printer, I get a
message on the printer's LCD screen: "PC unresponsive". I assume it's
"looking for" a Windows PC. In fact, when I connect it to a Windows
machine, the scan works and is saved in D:\Users\solomon\Pictures. 

Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work on Linux?


Probably not relevant, but the output of usb-devices  is:
