The HP Scanjet 2400 will not work with Linux.

>From the SANE developers:
"Concerning SANE, we don't know anything about the chip used in this
scanner so I can't comment on if it's supported by any backend."

I'd recommend the Epson Perfection series,  I've used several of their
USB variaties and under RH9 they "just work".
