Could someone recommend a scanner that is easy to install and works nicely under SuSE 7.2? My spouse has Canon FP630C, that is not supported, and I want to buy a new one, that works and is easy to install, just to make her happy with Linux.
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.
I believe there is one known model of Epson scanner that will not work since it apparently uses a different protocol than all the other Epson's do .. I cannot remember the model number. Just be sure not to but that one !
It was very easy for me with SuSE 7.2.
