I have been using a CanoScan LiDE 20 flatbed scanner
(http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000465.asp) for the past 5
years or so, without any sort of problems, last 1.5 years under Linux
(openSUSE 11.1 & Ubuntu 9.04). Windows XP required the scan software
mentioned at the link above as a mandatory interface via Adobe Acrobat
(ver 6, which is what I mostly use in Windows).

In Linux, have used this scanner with Skanlite, Xsane, gscan2pdf
without any problems, it having been auto-detected. Performance has
also been as good as with the native interface in Windows. An added
advantage is that it just needs to be plugged into a USB port (no
additional power input needed). A great scanner for general use.
