That wouldn't have happened to been a Lide 20/30, now would it? I made "the same mistake" [in asking for said canon scanner for christmas] and sure enough, knocking on Canon's support door got a cold-shoulder response. HOWEVER, I'm VERY happy to report that with 8.2 of SuSE, the canon is AUTOMATICALLY DETECTED and really does work [and the "handwriting recognition" program got one letter in twenty correct !] [I just checked -- the driver it uses is the canon N1240u/lide30] - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+4YhSV/YHUqq2SwsRAlDkAKClYtvbTsy/K18ehcgJIKfKCTa5HgCfa1dh LjAZuzcMhhF9pckYlz9L5HY= =+EeD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
