a quick google search turns up at least four:
clara OCR: www.claraocr.org
GOCR: http://altmark.nat.uni-magdeburg.de/~jschulen/ocr/
a commercial OCR with a linux version: www.vividata.com
a commercial OCR with a linux version: www.mentalix.com

try SANE (Scanning Access Now Easy): http://www.mostang.com/sane
(note: site is down at this time due to @home belly-up)
(note: SANE is shipped with most modern linux distributions)
another quick google search turns up one possible USB scanner resource page:
