Modern Linux scanners

[Joel Burtram]

I know I'm late to the party, but I have a (not so new) Canon CanoScan LiDE
30 flatbed scanner.  It was instantly recognized as an imaging device on
all my Fedora systems (back to Fedora 6).  The scanner showed up in
SimpleScan and SkanLite ready to go, which was great because I could not
find Win drivers anywhere.

I can't speak to the newer Canon models, but you can check SANEs supported
devices here:

Good hunting.
