I have a Caonon Lide 20 attached to a Susue 9.2 box run by a athlon xp2000+. 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
It might have been my post, Chris. But I have a LiDE 50 and it just will not have it in any flavour of Linux. Other models in the LiDE series are working with SANE. I think the last one to be added to the list was the LiDE 35. I've read the developers page and he actually owns a LiDE 50 and has stated that eh will get to work on a driver for it as soon as he has the time. I hope it's soon as the LiDE 50 is a fantastic bit of kit. Shame I have to use it on a W2k tin. :-((( -- Take care. Kevan Farmer 34 Hill Street Cheslyn Hay Staffordshire WS6 7HR
