I bought a cheapo (£25) "Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus 600x1200 dpi USB 
Flatbed Scanner" from ebuyer (see 
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?product_uid=36145 ) and it 
works well with the sane stuff and libusb.  I had to download the firmware 
driver thing from the website 
( http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/gt68xx-backend/ ).  I also had to 
uncomment the relevant lines in /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf for my scanner.  Now 
I can use kooka (but only as root at the moment) to scan stuff in...

That's not a very thorough explanation, but it's just what I remember from 
doing it a few months back, and I've not really helped you.  Just thought I 
might encourage you that it is possible!   :)
