Image Scan! is a graphical scanner utility for people that do not need all the bells and whistles provided by several of the other utilities out there (xsane, QuiteInsane, Kooka).
At the moment it only supports SEIKO EPSON devices. However, the device driver it provides can be used by any other SANE standard compliant scanner utility.
Note that several scanners require a non-free plugin before they can be used with this software. Using a scanner directly through a network interface also requires a non-free plugin.
