Canon Canoscan D646U

[skerit]

Hi everyone,

I have this ancient Canoscan D646U scanner.
According to the documentation, and my personal experience, it's
completely unsupported by the Sane drivers.

Now, I think it would be a waste to get a new scanner, this one produces
fine results, but I would like to get rid of running a virtual machine
just to scan some photo's.

So, I was wondering, what can be done?
Is there a show-stopping reason why it's not supported?
Because there are some hopeful notes on this page:

http://www.sane-project.org/unsupported/canon-d646u.html

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Jelle De Loecker
