Request forwarded, with Julien's gripes later in this thread
referenced for good measure.

Here goes.  All in all these are covered by seven plugins.

  GT-7200U    Perfection 1250, Perfection 1250 Photo
  GT-7300U    Perfection 1260, Perfection 1260 Photo
  GT-9400UF   Perfection 3170 Photo
  GT-F500     Perfection 2480 Photo
  GT-F520     Perfection 3490 Photo
  GT-F550     Perfection 2580 Photo
  GT-F570     Perfection 3590 Photo
  GT-F600     Perfection 4180 Photo
              Stylus CX4300
              Stylus CX4400
              Stylus CX5500
              Stylus CX5600
              Stylus DX4400

Note that the GT-7200 and GT-7300 are also supported by the plustek
backend and the GTF5x0s to some extent by the snapscan backend.  The
Stylus models may work to some extent with the snapscan backend as
well, but I'm not sure about that.  Only the GT-9400UF and GT-F600 are
known not to work with any other backend, AFAIK.

Hope this helps,
