You're the first to mention Ricoh scanners on this list, so, yes,
there is no support in SANE yet.

The "TWAIN compatible" doesn't mean much, unfortunately. All it means
that there is a TWAIN driver for Windoze and/or Mac.
Bjorn> Is it some sort of OEM name for another scanner or something?
Could be. Let's hope so.
Bjorn> Or is it simply so, that noone with such a scanner has

Bjorn> Is there any work being done on a driver for this scanner?
Not that I know of.
Bjorn> I'd be interested in helping out...
As a start, do you know what the SCSI id of the scanner is? That
might give a clue as to whether it might be compatible with something
else.
