Linux Scanners

[John Moniz]

This subject comes up once in a while, but since developments happen 
quickly, I'd like to ask again.

I'm intending on treating myself to a scanner soon, but one that is good 
for photo/film/slide scanning. I'd like to pick a brand that is very 
Linux friendly, not just a model that is on the USB list. Which company 
would be good to support? Is Epson as good with scanners as it is with 
printers? I had a look at an Epson Perfection 1670 Photo scanner that 
might fit my requirements, although it looks almost too inexpensive. Is 
Canon still a PITA?  Any scanner suggestions would be welcome?

Thanks,

John.
