Since you are in Germany, I suggest you check first what scanners you
can find locally in your price range, and then check here if it is
supported fully:

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html

Mind you, in that price range you will probably not find many scanners
with a good resolution. Ordering from the US or UK is a bad idea, as
the shipping price is usually very high.

Unlike what most people suggest, I had problems with both my Epson
scanners under Linux, but that was about 4 years ago, so the situation
might have changed.

Caveat: HP scanners, unlike the HP printers, are not always fully
supported with SANE, and that is the only scanner application that is
available under Linux. That is valid for all price ranges, be this
stand-alone or combined machines.
