[TriLUG] Linux Scanner Recommendations

[Andrew Perrin]

I have an Epson Perfection 1640SU Office (or something very close to that)
which works just great. It's got a sheet feeder that works well, and both
SCSI and USB ports, both of which work fine. I use xsane for graphics and
scanimage for sheet feeding.  The epson driver works adequately, but Epson
has released its own (proprietary) driver for sane that works better,
called epkowa.
