I'm looking to replace my old HP ScanJet 6300c scanner.  It's giving me 
problems.

So, I've tried the Canon CanoScan 8800F and it doesn't work (and I've tried) 
with Linux and Canon doesn't support Linux  (currently using Linux Mint 7 on 
desktop and lapton and Kubuntu 10.04 on netbook) might be upgrading to Kubuntu 
10.04 all around.

So, what scanners work with the above distros?  My parameters:

Company should support Linux (an exception can be made for a definite working 
flatbed scanner that's inexpensive)

Price at or under $150

USB 2.0 

Can scan at minimum of 600 DPI (higher would be better)

Can anyone help me with choosing a scanner with the above parameters?
