I'm not a UMAX expert at all but in your case I woul have a look at
the umax1220u backend.

No idea.

Have a look at the umax1220u backend page, especially at
http://umax1220u-sane.sourceforge.net/index.php?ScannerChipsets

There are scanners with similar chipsets. It's a wiki so I guess you
can add yours to this list.

Dtetected correctly.

Ok, so from the kernel point of view it's detected correctly.
