The desire to get work done, in reasonably high quality. When I scan, I generally need to do a substantial number of scans -- say 900 negatives in both 35mm and 2 1/4 -- so establishing a workflow is important. Using xsane is certainly possible. So would be writing a book in KEdit or heaven help us, Kate.
but at the end in the linux world, you usually first do some research which device is supported and buy the best one from the list. Otherwise it is impossible.
When I did the research about scanners might be 10+y ago I found out that very few devices are supported without issues, especially such, that I can put underneath of the desk. More problematic as usual are the cheaper USB devices.
