Does anybody have a recommendation for a flatbed scanner, connected via USB2 that works flawlessly with Linux (openSUSE 10.3 in particular) and is still on sale (especially in Europe/Germany)?
Almost anything from HP will be supported, except their very cheapest models which cut a few corners. They're the gold standard for manufacturer based printer & scanner support under linux.
Epson reportedly also has fairly good support.

John, This is not my experience few month ago. Things might have changed. When I looked into HP scanners you could run most of the all in one devices (fax, printer, scanner) but there was not support for any of the high end single purpose scanner. That's why I end up getting the Epson 4990 photo. http://hp-linux.cern.ch/support/devscanner.php3 -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
