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:
