Can someone suggest a good entry level scanner supported on Linux? The popular HP model 2410C doesn't seem to work on Linux.
Thanks,

I have an Epson V30 that works with Linux drivers (x86 and amd64) from Epson's site.

generally over a period of 15 years I have noticed that usually the cheapest model of any piece of hardware will not work with linux since half the hardware is dispensed with and is simulated by software in the driver. Next cheapest usually works - and the more expensive ones again will not work. (this is a personal observation)

The more expensive used to be SCSI and they worked out of the box as long as they were hooked to a supported SCSI HBA.
I guess, the newer high end ones connect to the USB ports. Any particular model?

If you don't mind an all-in-one then HP k209a All in one is properly supported in limux with scanning and printing. HPLIP's software installation is also well guided and smooth. I use this device in Linux.

Lot many thanks to you all for your inputs. I guess Epson V30 is probably the only stand alone scanner though it seems to be priced close to the MFDs with supported scanners.

If you buy an HP All-in-One then go for the 'Ink Advantage' series or you will be spending a lot later on cartridges.
