     Hello,

     the scanner search engine 
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl is the first thing to try.

     Its data is based on the sane-backends/doc/desc files where you can 
find in unsupported.desc :

:model "CanoScan LiDE 70"
:url "http://www.juergen-ernst.de/info_sane.html"
:interface "USB"
:usbid "0x04a9" "0x2225"
:status :unsupported
:comment "Philips chip. Backend started, see link"

     Stef
