I am considering the purchase of a scanner for my system. I am running an Athlon XP processor, Shuttle AN35N Ultra motherboard, and SuSE 9.2 Pro. Does anyone have suggestions for a scanner?

I am *very* happy with my usb Epson Perfection 2400 Photo Scanner, and only paid us$120 about a year ago.

And I have an Epson Perfection 1260 Photo Scanner, which I paid about $80 (CDN) for a little over a year ago. Works well.

I would greatly recommend you look at the SuSE hardware compatibility list. Sorry I don't have the URL to hand but you can get it from the main SuSE page. Alternatively take a look at the SANE development page. Again, sorry I don't have the URL as I'm on a different PC. MY other PC is down at the moment and I can't access a load of my tool URLs. As soon as it is back up I'll post the URL if you still need it. -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR

It works better on Suse than xp. If you look at the lists of compatable hardware you will notice that the scanners to avoid are the ones that pretend to be usb. Other scanners seem to work straight up or can be made to work. The canon worked without any tinkering. All that was required was the straight forward yast configuration of the scanner. I did notice that someone on this did have problems with this scanner. Chris
