Scanning - for the first time in years

For the first time in years, I found myself needing to scan a page this morning.
For the first time in years, I powered up my HP ScanJet 3300C.
It last saw action (if memory serves) when Windows 98 was the lastest thing.
For the first time ever, I plugged it into my Ubuntu box.
It worked.
First time.

I kid you not.

No driver madness.
No hair pulling.

Wonderful.
