Linux scanner support is through SANE, see their site at http://www.sane-project.org/ for lists of supported scanners. Your scanner is listed as having Good support (but not complete). Mandrake has ScannerDrake as part of the Mandrake Control Centre (MCC), on menu under System/Configuration/Configure your Computer. This will detect and configure your scanner, if supported, and install some software to use. Software to use are XSane (Gtk app, full featured, but GUI is a bit difficult), Kooka (KDE app, simplified GUI misses some features, has weird photo management add-on), or QuiteInsane (QT app, full featured, basically XSane for QT, no longer actively developed).
