Is it a USB, Parallel, or SCSI model?
There are SANE drivers for some UMAX Parallel and SCSI
models. If it is a USB model, look for a new scanner. It is
unlikely that there will ever be SANE drivers because UMAX
refuses to release the specifications on its USB models.
Even if the scanner is sharable over the network (I've only
seen a few high-end scanners that are networkable) you
still have the problem of the drivers only working under
Windows.
If it is a parallel scanner for which there are no Linux
drivers, you might be able to use Win4Lin or vmware to
access the scanner. I use Win4Lin to access my scanner and
it works great. (although I wish I could scan directly into
GIMP...) This method might also work with SCSI scanners
under vmware but I've never tried it.
