Epson 640 usb. Solid cheap and works out of the box with 8.0. As do most of the other Epsons (the 1660 looks real good if you can afford it) steve
I tried to learn about Linux & scanners at: http://www.mostang.com/sane/
The 1660 doesn't show up on the SANE list, the 1650 does. The SANE man page http://www.mostang.com/sane/man/sane-epson.5.html notes that the Perfection 600 and Perfection 1250 are not supported -- no explanation why so no way to know what may be present in unlisted and/or new scanners that may render them similarly incompatible with SANE.
At the web page http://www.mostang.com/sane/ there is mention of a special USB table and a link. Follow the link and the reference there shows that the Epson 1660 is supported by the same backend as the 640 and 1650. I have no experience with the Epson scanners; I was just looking for some scanner information earlier today.
