I can enthusiastically recommend the Epson 1200U, a USB scanner that 
works well with SuSE and SANE, and gives great scans. This scanner is 
easy to get working in SuSE. 

As a general rule, Epsons are known for being easy to set up in Linux. 
You should still check the SANE page to make sure you have a model that 
is known to work.

It was very easy for me with SuSE 7.2.
