Maybe it's time for an Epson scanner?
No, it's time for Windows again. Sad, but true. I need this scanner so urgently, there's no other way. I have been using Linux more than 12 years as mail/newsserver, so I'm not quite new.
That's one solution.
Sad that it always stays behind Windows when it comes to functionality.
Sad that hardware rubbish never comes with usable drivers.
Yes, I'll do that. It's a little bit strange after so many reports which describe the same bug, that nobody has already fixed it. Do a search with Lide20 or N670U, linux and problems combinated, you will find at least 100 reports.
He might be able to help you, or get information back that this kind of hardware is not working.
It's a sane issue.
The sane people do a good job and engineering drivers for low-end scanners, but I've found the whole package not dependable enough over the years. (It's also not suited for professional levels.) My recommendation is always the same: buy yourself some decent scanning software for Linux from http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html The software is actively developed with frequent releases. Your scanner is listed as supported. No 64bit version available, but the 32bit version works very well on 64bit Suse (SCSI scanners didn't work on 64bit boxes some while back, but the author fixed it when I brought it up).
