It's been a number of years since I tried, but we had several HP5500C scanners with auto-document feeders for scanning discovery, etc... At that time, the 'sane' scanner drivers were the only thing Linux would talk to, so that was one reason we left a couple of secretarial machines on windoze. Since then we have gone with a Sharp AR_M355N that does scan-to-pdf from the document feeder and I just have it scan-to-ftp over the network to our server and it works without a hitch. (we have put several thousand-page medical charts together on it and it does just fine. (the 50-sheet feeder limit makes it a bit of a chore...)
We have a Dell C1765nfw (free with four sets of cartridges, at about £80 a set :-) and that also has what I call "push scanning" - set up a samba share, point the scanner config at it (http setup, just point your browser at the unit), and all I do is press the scanner button, select the folder I want, and scan. The documents automagically appear :-) Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
