I just bought a Epson V100 photo - but I can only use it with a the
binary blob. Which means, I have to recompile the module every time a
new kernel arrives. Apart from this it works well with (x)sane, but not
with kooka (KDE scan tool). It seems to run a bit slower than under
Windows, but at least it works under Linux :)

Apart from this, you might want to have a look at
