As starting point to get your scanner working under Linux go to SANE: Supported Devices

Code:

firmware /path/to/ScanWise/Drivers/Snape50.bin

Even though I always kept the outside of the glass clean, I have noticed in the last year that the inside of the glass was developing a cloudy residue. I finally decided to do something about it.
