I want to purchase a flatbed scanner to use with SuSE 7.1. Can you use the serial port with the scanner? Has anyone installed a particular model successfully? Any other info will be welcomed. jozien

The SuSE Hardware Database has 176 scanners listed: (this link will no doubt get butchered) http://hardwaredb.suse.de/connectuserServer.php?manufactor=&device=&LANG=en_UK&offset=0&typ=userSearch&basesub=268%3A-1 And I doubt you'd want a serial port scanner ;-)

I have not heard of scanners that use the serial port. 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. It was very easy for me with SuSE 7.2. I noticed there are some minor issues to be aware of in 7.1, discussed here: http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/suse71.html Some other 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.

Hi, I have a Dexxa 4800 scanner that uses the LPT (parallel) port... ...but I have never heard of one that uses a serial port. I managed to get it working in SuSE 7.2 but not SuSE 7.1 or SuSE 7.0. Regards Q On Thu 27 Sep 01 08:35, Bryan Tyson wrote:

Hi: You might want to hold off on the scanner for a minute. The Disney folks, and AAP have ideas about that?!!! <grin> Tom http://www.publishers.org/home/abouta/copy/scanning.htm
