I've got an HP Scanjet that I have attached to a dual boot box. My next scanner is either going to have Linux capability, or else I won't even look at it. Oddly enough HP has the OSLO group, which is supposed to make things more open standards friendly, but I guess that their big enough that some memos don't get passed around to all divisions. :)
What model scanjet? and how do you have it connected?
HP 3670 USB
I have had scanjets for the last 10 years and have always had them work in Linux...
Some do, and others unfortunately don't.
USB - that answers the question. All of mine are SCSI (and will be if I can help it)
The last SCSI scanner that I could find for much less than $1000US was a UMAX Astra 2200, which I believe worked under Linux 9.1. It was in the $100 plus range when I bought it, and I don't know if it's still made. That was at least 3 years ago, and I bought it specifically to work in Linux. It's a pretty good scanner, altho I don't remember if I actually did use it under Linux, since I don't use a scanner too often. I seem to remember testing it, tho. --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.10.3 - Release Date: 4/25/2005
