When I look for scanners I first look at what's supported for the SANE
drivers in CVS (link points directly to the Epson devices):
http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html#Z-EPSON
... and then I compare that list to what scanners are available.
Unfortunately I don't see the V200 even listed in the list of Epson devices.
The scanner that I'm currently using with Linux isn't being sold as new
anymore [Cannon LiDE 30].
