The Epson Perfection 1650 scanner works fine for me in Mandrake 8.2, scanning from within gimp using the xsane plugin. I would recommend that this is probably the best way for you to go. I can let you have the specific configuration details if you need them. But pretty much all I did to set up my scanner was install the sane-backends and libraries rpms and the xsane-gimp rpm. Then if you have a look at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hard-details.php3?F_TYPE=scanner&F_ID=344 to check your scanner is set up correctly, you should be pretty much there.
