Install Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i

Unfortunately, this is not PnP…
I followed instruction on NixOS Wiki
Got the devicedriver from josharcher’s blog (you have to decide for yourself if you trust that source…)
The rebuild works and sane-find-scanner detects the device correctly:

[root@nixos:~]# sane-find-scanner 

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
  # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
  # Also you need support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your operating system.
  # If using Linux, try "modprobe sg".

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04c5 [FUJITSU], product=0x128d [ScanSnap S1300i]) at libusb:003:005
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.

But scanimage -L did not bring up anything. Increasing verbosity a bit by using an enviroment variable reveals the problem:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

It seems, something in config.nix is not as supposed…the relevant part looks like:

  # Add sane scanner support
  hardware.sane.enable = true;
  nixpkgs.config.sane.snapscanFirmware = pkgs.fetchurl {
#    url = "https://www.josharcher.uk/static/files/2016/10/1300i_0D12.nal"; # Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i
    url = "/home/uniq/Downloads/1300i_0D12.nal"; # Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i
    sha256 = "cbea48c6cee675c2ea970944b49b805d665ee659f753a50b83c176973f507591";
  };

(the referenced file in the download directory is copied from an arch-based system, which works well with the scanner)
The lseek failure is mentioned in this conversation on debian.net and apparently solvable by copying a file to the correct place, but copying files around is not nixOS style, so what is the next step here?

In case someone is looking for a solution the following settings worked for me.

hardware.sane.enable = true;
hardware.sane.drivers.scanSnap.enable = true;

After that it really was just pnp.

can confirm, this works!
