First you have to see from the Hardware Compatibilty List at http://www.sane-project.org if your scanner is supported and then you can use either Kooka from KDE or The GIMP, etc.

ok. but in mandrake-10.1 it is supported i was able to scan. no configuration was needed in mandrake-10.1. but why it is not working in FC3?

If you are running FC3 with the X-Windows System window manager GNOME, its in Hardware Browser.

Oh, also you may need the sane-backend for that printer which the websites go over.

You can use yum to download and install sane development and sane backends, but you can also install them from the FC CD's.

The site for RPMS for Fedora is http://download.fedora.redhat.com
