I have an Epson stand-alone scanner, and an Epson all-in-one printer
that does scanning. The stand-alone is Epson Perfection V300 Photo.
The printer is WP-4530. Both of them work perfectly with X-Sane as
a scan app. XSane works very well with these. If you have both
connected, it will give you the choice. I've had the stand-alone scanner
for a number of years, so I don't know if it's still available. Epson
products work well in Linux, and there are driver downloads for their
products, even tho they "don't support Linux"--or that's what you'll
hear if you call them up.
I don't have any financial interest in Epson--it's just good hardware!
