Originally to: All My brother recently switched from Win98 (SE I think) to SuSE, and is experiencing a couple of problems, those being: 1.

Hi There is "vmware" emulator, that is able to run different operating systems, and it works fine. About scanner You can find more information from http://www.mostang.com/sane. There is a list of supported scanners. Jaska. On Thursday 01 January 1970 02:00, Larry Eggers wrote:

I had Astra 3400, and it didn't work. I needed to get a printer so I got an HP PSC 950 multi function device that owrks ok.
I'm just wondering, does the multifunction printer/scanner work properly under Linux - as both printer & scanner? Also, if you've still got the Astra 3400, you might want to know that it's supported under Linux by Hamrick Software's VueScan package.

Yes it does. for printing I am using LPRng and the Foomatic driver. SuSE stuff does not work with it---I mean YAST's Autodetect printer does not work. Scanning works without a glitch. I wanted to use HP because HP is very good to OPen Source world and is itself sponsoring the office jet driver development. Plus it was a device that my wife waned.

Ahh...good...I may give it a try.Salman
