Scanner works, but you get an image with a lot of horizontal/vertical black stripes. When you import the image with Gimp, you can remove the stripes almost complete.

After much fiddling with Xsane/Sane, it is working as a USB scanner.

This, being a used scanner, I find the stepper motor to be making jagged scans, but that is probably local to this device, not yours.

Color looks good, works as expected otherwise.
