Check out if sane supports it.  I'm in a similar situation with a HP 
Scanjet 6200C.  The driver on the HP isn't actually a driver so the 
scanner is useless in Windows.  I booted into FreeBSD, kldload 
uscanner, and started xsane, it worked perfectly.  I haven't tried 
the OCR part of xsane, but it should work.
