I don't know anything about the CX8400 except that there is a foomatic
printer driver available for it in F8. I have a CX4400 for which
there is NOT a driver, and it essentially doesn't work.
I don't know if there is a scanner driver; you might want to look at
http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_spc.html
to see if iscan supports it.. It appears from
http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11666 that it does.
I can't currently reach the avasys site. If it is supported, it is
usually easy to install iscan and get your scanner recognized using
scanimage -L and sane-find-scanner as tools for troubleshooting.
There are many scanner troubleshooting posts available.
