Sure, glad you found it useful:) I have beautiful 13x19s (11x14 cropped) output from an Epson stylus Photo 1280, scanned from Velvia, Astia, and Kodak E100VS/SW/GX from the scanner into VueScan and then tweaked, profiles applied, and printed from PhotoShop 7 - it's a good workflow, I think you'll find the color to be excellent. Read Ed Hamrick's user guide at http://www.hamrick.com/files/vuestart.pdf, it will help get set up.
I use VueScan, http://www.hamrick.com, which is available for preview. I actually use the Windows version, but it is available for Linux. I also use the Canon CanoScan FS4000US slidescanner with my transparencies.
VueScan has built-in calibration, which I use with Monaco EZColor 2.5, which is now part of x-rite http://www.xritephoto.com/product/ezcolor/. The color I get from slides is amazing, so I'd highly recommend you check VueScan out. Color management can have a bit of a learning curve, but Monaco EZColor is the easiest (and least expensive) I have found.
