Hi François, Your scanner is fully supported since Sane 1.0.25.
To use Sane 1.0.25 you need to install Sane from source as described here: http://www.sane-project.org/README.linux. Or, if you're using Ubuntu or one of its clones, you can use my ppa: '$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rolfbensch/sane-git'.
