I have installed Mandiva 2007 and everything works except my Microtek scanner model 4800.
The sane-backend is 1.0.18. When I run sane-find-scanner, it is detected. When I run scanimage -L in both the user and root levels no scanners were identified. When I run lsusb -vv it the scaner is detected as indicated below. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05da:20a7 Microtek International, Inc.
