I bought this scanner about half a year ago and I was following the
discussions on the sane mailing list. Basically the answer is that
there is no support and as far as I understand it is unlikely that
there will be in the near future. UMAX are not prepared to release
their specs and a guy who tried to sniff the parallell port left the
project in disgust.
My solution? I brought my parents the Umax 610P scanner and bought
myself a 610S (SCSI-based) scanner in the states. It works beautifully
with Sane and Gimp.
