I doesn't use scanners very often but I used that scanner once.
At fist time, I thought that it will be a problem but for my surprise the only 
thing that I needed to do was edit the /etc/default/saned to start the daemon 
and then acquire the image with Gwenview.
It worked like a charm with:

GNU/Linux
3.1.0-1-amd64
Debian 3.1.1-1
Qt: 4.7.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)
Konqueror: 4.6.5 (4.6.5)
