I got an EPSON 1640US because it has SCSI and USB. I figured even if
the USB was immature I could talk to it over SCSI.  It's working OK
now on USB, with a small addition to the above-mentioned usbdevs, which
I believe have been pushed into -STABLE. Using sane with xsane, nice
tools.

I did get it to crash my 4.2-STABLE box when trying to push
very large images (high resolution, big color depth). I suspect it was
a bug in the USB code but am too unfamiliar with USB to dig into it.

Been working fine with more "sane" :-) resolutions.
