I have an old HP 4100C that has served me well. It's only 600x600 DPI though. Latest model HP's do 4800x9600 dpi. Mine happens to be recognised by Linux but the one I would buy now if I were shopping the HP 4850 is NOT usable under Linux. Here is a list of the scanners supported by the SANE Linux scanner project (Scanning Access Now Easy)... http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html I've had good luck with HP printers and scanners and am biased towards them because of that. Your results may differ ;-) Good luck!
