Livio,
I have been looking for an scanner for almost a month. My first approach was to print a list of the scanners supported by sane. Well most of them are old and discontinue models with very few exceptions. Furthermore more and more companies are trying to get into the linux business and are producing proprietary drivers (which is great). Well here few points that may help you.
1. Epson has always been seen as a linux friendly. Besides they produce high quality scanners. Some of the newer scanner are supported by sane and all of them are supported by their proprietary drivers. To be on the safe side I choose the Epson 4990 Photo. This is a very high quality scanner only surpass by the V-700.
Hi, I got myself the Perfection V-100 for 109 Euro 2 weeks ago. It is very slimline and works well. Epson drivers installed and it worked like a charm. I also have the Epson C1100 ColourPrinter, also drivers from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html Almost all Epson scanners work. There is a list, not totally up to date at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
