I think it's a good idea to send an e-mail to Jonathan Buzzard, he
keeps a list of scanners supported under Linux and their status.
See http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html for USB
scanners for example.

Also I think it is a good idea to send an e-mail to Henning
Meier-Geinitz with a '.desc' file. The .desc file describes the
manufacturer, link to project page, current status of Linux support
etc. You can find examples of how to write a .desc (actually quite easy
in the sane-backends source package.
Henning may then decide to add it to the list of 'external backends'
(see http://panda.mostang.com/sane/sane-backends-external.html )

Kind regards,
