    Hi, Steve. Generally the "se" versus "xi" suffixes are used to differentiate
    the same product sold through different channels (i.e. retail and commercial).
    In the case of the ScanJet 6200C, the only difference is in the Windows-based
    software bundled with the unit, which is irrelevant if you're not using your
    device with Windows. :-) The SANE HP backend works regardless whether you
    have the 6200C, 6200Cse, or 6200Cxi.

    Other HP products, such as certain OfficeJets, exhibit a functional difference
    between models with or without an "xi" designation, such as different number
    of fax pages they'll store or maximum number of pages they'll copy at one
    time. Still, these differences are largely a matter of convenience rather
    than software driver compatibility.

    David
