Well, I just bought a CanoScan 9000F MkII specifically because it was
marked as fully supported on that list, and I can say it does NOT work
on OpenBSD; scanimage -L detects it just fine but attempting to scan
gives an I/O error. As a workaround I plugged it into a Linux laptop,
started saned, and scan seamlessly from OpenBSD with scanimage's network
support, until I find the time to make a proper bug report.

In the past I used a CanoScan LiDE 20 quite regularly from OpenBSD, but
that was several years ago.
