The Brother MFC-9840CDW (high-end color laser) that I was talking about
does have a flat-bed scanner, with a page feeder. Once I installed the
Linux drivers it Just Works over Ethernet using X-Sane, and I'm very
happy with it for scanning, printing and copying (I don't really use fax).
I know that's not really what you are looking for, but that's the best I
can do. It might possibly be worth getting the ink-jet just to use the
scanner part, if no one else has a better idea.
Best I can do, HTH,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
