UMAX Astra 3400 scanner and Ubuntu Hoary

[Marc Thompson]

I'm a newbie.  Any advice for getting a UMAX Astra 3400 scanner to work
with Ubuntu Hoary?  usbview shows the scanner, but I think that while it
is recognized at the hardware level, there just isn't a software driver
out there for it. I've also tried with other distros, even Knoppix which
is supposed to be good with this sort of thing. Should I just scrap this
scanner and get another?  If so, what sort of scanner works well with
Ubuntu?  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
