THE scanning solution for Linux is SANE.  The project site has a
database of supported devices.  The 3400C is listed in the database at
http://www.sane-project.org/cgi-bin/driver.pl?manu=hp&model=3400c&bus=any&v=&p=

You can also use the database to check other scanners you see listed
in ads or online somewhere, if you want to buy a new scanner.
