This scanner is not listed at all in our database (not even as
"unsupported"). So nobody knows. But usually this means it's
unsupported.

Please send the output of "sane-find-scanner -v -v" when the scanner
is plugged in. This way we can at least check if the chipset is
supported by an existing backend. In this case adding support for the
scanner may be relatively easy (theoretically).

If the scanner uses a new (or unsupported) chipset, it's up to you to
write a backend. So the timeframe completely depends on you :-)

Bye,
