I need to get a new scanner, preferably a USB version. I just need to scan some forms and such, and don't want to spend a lot, but don't want something that is low resolution. What do you recommend that isn't a a pain in the butt to get working? I am using Suse 7.3. Harry G

Hi Harry, The general recommendation is: Any Epson, but NOT the 1250. For good informations, have a look at: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html Hope that helps & Cheers ....

I can enthusiastically recommend the Epson 1200U, a USB scanner that works well with SuSE and SANE, and gives great scans. This scanner is easy to get working in SuSE. As a general rule, Epsons are known for being easy to set up in Linux. You should still check the SANE page to make sure you have a model that is known to work. Some useful documents: http://www.mostang.com/sane/ http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/index.html (Epson backend info) http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/tami_usbscanner.html *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional KDE 2.1.2 KMail 1.2 Bryan S.
