I just purchased an Epson Perfection V350 Photo this week. Epson site
points to the AVASYS site for Linux drivers. I use Mandriva, an RPM was
there and the unit just worked after RPM install. Epson seems to have
better support than most through the AVASYS site.
The SANE site is well out of date for most scanner drivers.
