It seems the CX-3700 is currently supported by both the
epkowa backend
and the epson backend. It's definitely not supported by the
snapscan
backend, so anything mentioned on snapscan.sourceforge.net
doesn't
apply.

I'm not an expert on the epson backend, but it should be
able to
recognize your scanner if you just put the IDs into
epson.conf, e.g.
usb 0x04b8 0x0818
After that your sanner should be recognized by scanimage -L.
The epkowa backend is not part of the SANE distribution, you
have to
install it separately. You can get it from
htt
p://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html . It also
provides
it's own documentation.
