Description: * System : Linux Mandrake 10.1 / kernel 2.6.8.1-10mkd
* Software : libsane1-1.0.14-3mdk, xsane-0.93-1mdk,
sane-backends-1.0.14-3mdk, iscan-1.13.0-3

The printer was detected and configured in a breeze from Mandrake Control Center, as a Stylus Photo RX425 with Ghostscript / gimp-print-ijs on /dev/usb/lp0

For the scanner to be recognized, I had to use Image Scan! for Linux and used sane-find-scanner as quoted here : http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/
Works with iscan as well as xsane and Kooka.

The CF reader was automatically recognized and mounted as /dev/sda which is available in /mnt/removable (same than my USB key !) on my system.

Well, that sounds find to me, especially for 140€ !

The only reason why i won't put 10 is that I've not tested it thoroughly.
