  I would add the following to this.

  On the linux-usb list there has been a post saying that the UMAX Astra 1220U
  has been made to work under Linux. At a guess the Astra 2200 being a dual
  SCSI/USB scanner probabbly works but someone would have to confirm this.
  For more information see

  http://electricrain.com/lists/archive/linux-usb/2000/01/msg00092.html

  On this list at the beginning of the month there was a post from the
  new maintainer of the Epson backend that the latest version had preliminary
  support for Epson USB scanners see

  http://www.mostang.com/mail-archive/sane-devel/2000-01/0034.html

  In addition I would add that it would appear that their is documentation
  on the chip that controls the HP 4200C for free download on the web.
  I suspect that this means that this scanner can be supported if someone
  writes a backend.

  JAB.
