Hi Moby, the Scanmaker 5700 is not yet supported by SANE. But there may be a chanc= e to=20 get it to work via the firewire interface. I have no experiences with thi= s,=20 but I think there is a kernel module which makes a firewire device appear= ing=20 as a generic SCSI device (/dev/sg....). Then you should be able to detect= the=20 scanner with sane-find-scanner and if we are lucky the scanner uses comma= nds=20 similar to the microtek2 scanners.=20 Perhaps somebody in the SANE mailing list can give some hints concerning = the=20 firewire setup? If sane-find-scanner detects your scanner please follow the instructions = in=20 the manpage and send me a logfile.
