Not sure if I want a all in one as I already have 2 printers.  And I only need 
a flatbed to scan in some hard to find reference books.  Would you say that 
HP scanners are generally pretty good for linux?  (I have always had good 
luck with their printers.)  There is a Visioneer 7300 Flatbed Scanner on 
craigs list for $45 and it seems to have "good" linux support on the sane 
site that TK (thanks) recomended.  I think that I will give that a shot.
