For scanner support there is the package SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). Information can be found at
http://www.mostang.com/sane/. It can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.mostang.com/pub/sane/. This is a universal scanner interface. It comes complete with documentation and several frontends and backends.
More information on handheld scanners can be found at

Many scanners also have their own, scanner specific, software packages which include drivers.
