I'm suprised no-one else has answered this, but...

There are a couple of packages in sunsite which seem to fit the bill.
They both run under X; one is an english version, one is german version.
I can't comment on either of them as I'm afraid I've never used them;
I use my scanner under Windoze (no Linux driver).

If you try them, I'd be interested to hear how well they work. Might
encourage me to have a go a writing a Linux driver for my scanner... :-)

The location on sunsite is:

        X11/xapps/graphics/xocr_4_2.*

Thanks,
