This means that someone told us that this scanner exists but there is no obvious backend that could support it. But no in-depth analysis was done, e.g. which chipset it uses and if it could be supported by an existing backend. When I get a report about a scanner which is not in our lists yet, I usually list it with the comment "Probably unsupported". > If it means, that the scanner is somehow supported, could you explain how > to make it working at my Linux box?
