I bought an HP Scanjet 2400 a while ago, obviously neglecting to check if it worked with Linux - which it doesn't (AFAICT). I would really like to get a new one, but one that works with Linux. The scanjet has two buttons on the front - copy & scan. Those would be really handy to have working too.
Any (affordable) recommendations? This canner isn't used a lot, only occasionally. Hello Per,
I have an Epson scanner I'm quite satisfied with (don't remember the exact model, it's at home -- I can check and report back later). The Epson scanners only work in Linux via a proprietary driver (provided in RPM format by Epkowa). I've not checked in a while, but as far as I know, they only exist in 32bit version => if your linux is 64bit, you'd have to make do with the GUI provided by the driver (usable, but not great). If you're on a 32bit install, the driver integrates with SANE and Kooka, so it's even better. HTH Cheers. Bye. Ph.
