Sorry for the late follow-up. I've checked around a little bit and found some tidbits of information that seems to indicate that the GT-7400U is the little sister of the GT-8400U. There is a reasonable chance that this scanner works with the snapscan backend. You will probably have to muck around a bit to get it to load the right firmware file and copy that file from the Windoze software. No guarantees though ;-) -- Olaf Meeuwissen EPSON KOWA Corporation, ECS GnuPG key: 6BE37D90/AB6B 0D1F 99E7 1BF5 EB97 976A 16C7 F27D 6BE3 7D90 Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2
