Installing Viceo Scanner in Ubuntu 8.04

These are the steps I followed in Hardy Heron to install my Visioneer 7600.  I’m no coder by any stretch, and there was a LOT of copying and pasting, and there’s probably a lot that can be done to clean this up and turn it into a usable shell script.  Also, I should point out that I’ve included the vendorID and productID values for my particular scanner, and you should update these with the ones returned by sane-find-scanner before you get too far.
