It seems to be just another backend, I haven't looked at it yet.

I'm going to build a libsane-extras package with the following
backends (either as part of the sane-backends source package or
seperately, the latter would be the best) :
- HP 4200 C
- gt68xx
- HP ScanJet 3300C, 3400C, 4300C
- tevion9693usb
The last 2 backends are scheduled for inclusion in SANE 1.0.10.
This package should be available with libsane 1.0.8-2, I hope to roll
out this revision tomorrow evening (UTC + 2).
JB.
