The file
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
contains a list of all the recognised usb devices, including scanners.
I don't know if this means they all actually work (I presume they do)
but it does mean they will be recognised.
I have an Epson Perfection 640U which works fine. The key is support
by a sane back-end (sane being the scanner software). Epsons are a good
choice because I believe all but a few models talk the same language. In
fact until a week or so ago my scanner was not in the list, but seeing
other Epsons in there I just put in a definition for it and it worked,
submitted a PR and low and behold it is now in -stable.
