Hi all!
I'm thinking of bying a scanner. Does anyone have any special recommendations of what scanner works best with S.u.S.E. 5.3? The scanner should be "quite good", since I plan to scan photos and handmade drawings.
Check out the scanners supported by SANE: <A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/"><A HREF="http://www.mostang.com/sane/</A">http://www.mostang.com/sane/</A</A>> I've narrowed down my purchase to a Astra 1220S, but the sane site did recommend a better SCSI card. Best of luck!
I have a Astra 1220S and it is solidly built and works well with SANE. I'm particularly impressed with the Astra's "coil wrapped" scanbar connector, which is way better than those cheap flat plastic wire connectors currently sold in all those "bargain scanners". Get SCSI!!!! Forget parallel port scanners. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
