Yes, in order for the backend to detect it you would need to register the Vendor ID and Product ID with that backend, if I understand correctly. That means editing the recommended backend code (preferably in a CVS version of SANE) and recompiling it (goes into /usr/local so no interference with system SANE). Then scanimage -L should find the scanner with whatever backend the Vid/Pid was registered with, and try to work with it. Regards, Gernot
