I inquired about getting my two Microtek parallel-port flatbed scanners to
work under Linux.
Below is the response I got from Microtek:

        If there are drivers, you'll find them at the SANE homepage:

http://www.mostang.com/sane/

        And remember, always try to buy products whose manufacturers support
Linux.  I don't have a scanner yet, but I already know not to buy a Microtek.

1. Flatbed Scanner- which have a Linux driver?

Mustek, HP ScanJet and UMax scanners are all supported by the SANE project,
which can (in turn) interface to the GIMP.  

I've found that the HP ScanJet 5p I have gives (surprisingly) good results,
but what you use will depend on what the scans are for.
