Scanners are a huge pain. I've had a parallel-port Plustek 9636T for a few years, it's what I could get at the time that was supposed to be Linux-compatible at a reasonable price. Had to debug the driver myself to get it working reliably, though it was kinda fun to get a patch accepted by the SANE team.
