Look for "SANE" (Scanner access now easy). But beware: It uses the sg-interface
and which also maps your harddisks. So when SANE inits the scanner and you're
connected to the wrong sg-device, you're "initing" your harddrive (i.e. writing
some garbage to it and therfore makeing it unusable)! Always check twice to
which sg-device the scanner is mapped. (Perhaps they changed this meanwhile)
