I believe HP scanners are normally well supported. As
for Canon, well I have a completely supported Canon
scanner, a CanoScan N650U, it was remarkably cheap and
although I used it with Debian before, I plugged it
into my Ubuntu box for the first time yesterday and it
worked straight out of the box and I did a photo scan
via XSane and the Gimp and the emailed the results for
my friend. Can't get easier then that.

Probably best to stick to a larger manufacturer and
choose a scanner that is listed as having a complete
driver.
