As far as I know it's not supported. Check the mailing list archives
to be sure.

See the chart about how to get USB scanners working. I just posted it.
However, you won't get it scanning, only sane-find-scanner may work.

Two bulk endpoints. So it should work with the USB scanner driver. See
the above vendor and product ids?

To be sure, remove the scanner driver: rmmod scanner
Now load it again with the ids:
modprobe scanner vendor=0x03f0 product=0x0705

sane-find-scanner should now find your scanner, at least as root.

However, you'll still need a backend for the scanner. If there isn't
anybody else, how about writing it yourself? If I read the archives
correctly, it's a Umax scanner in reality.

Bye,
