	Hello,

	for your scanner this thread might be of interest:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2008-February/020959.html 
	It shows what will be some of the hurdle you may encounter. Overall, I don't 
think it is that hard. When you have the hardware, succeeding is mostly a 
matter of time. 

Regards,
	Stef
