This one seems to work; I just need a driver that gives me more 
options.   

Neither Microcenter nor Newegg seems to have a Perfection 1250 in 
stock at the moment.  I need a recommendation for something I can buy. 

So let me rephrase my question.  Does someone have a recently 
purchased scanner that works well with Linux, not only in the sense 
that it scans the image, but in the sense that the user has the 
options they need from scanner software with the standard linux 
programs.  (xsane and xscanimage).

A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying first a 
phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says, sounds 
terrible. That is the argument we have heard from our humanists and 
most of our computer scientists. Computer programs are good, they say, 
for particular purposes, but they aren't flexible. Neither is a 
violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.
