As the information on our website about this scanner is not yet
complete, please send us the output of "sane-find-scanner -v -v".

It's alway possible to write a backend. Only the time frame necessary
for this task may vary :-)

If the scanner really has a GL841 chip, it may be supported by the
genesys backend. Please read the archive and follow the discussions of
this mailing list concerning this backend.

If it has some other chip, see the "Contributing" section of the SANE
website for some information about writing backends.

Bye,
