The best place to look for scanner support is the Sane project. Go here -->http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html and see if you can find the scanner. If it is not there and supported, you are probably out of luck.

You would have to write your own driver. If you need a scanner, have a look through the supported scanners on that site, and buy one known to work.

The best place to start would be the sane site I posted. There is some information on where to start for an unsupported scanner. Beyond that, I have no experience.
