Well, it isn't a single-page scanner only, but I've got 2 Epson EcoTank
printer/scanner combos that work pretty well under Linux. One is an
ST-2000 series, the other is an ET-4800 series. The feeder on the ST-
2000 doesn't always work with Linux (ok, truthfully I don't remember it
ever working well or at all), so I scan one page at a time, which works
great for multi-page docs using, I think, simplescan.
And they work well as printers, too ;-)
