Hi all,

Any suggestions for an USB 2.0 scanner for Linux?

In my experience, pretty much anything I've plugged into my systems have worked. I'm not talking about the high end Kodak i860 or anything of that nature, but I've got one system with an Epson all-in-one, another with a Fujitsu 4120c, and another with a QMax scanner.

Check what you want then check here:

http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Scanners

Linuxprinting.org - which is now apparently openprinting.org - used to have a generic list.

Do you mean "YaST scanner setup" -> "Other" -> "Scanning via Network" or did you try it but it didn't work for you?

Hi Teruel, In fact I arrive to same conclusion, the only against is the price (in Portugal (465 EUR); as you mentioned.

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

I agree with the above sentiment, but recent posts have indicated there is no OT list, which is probably just as well, since nobody would go there.

You do realize we were kidding about there not being an off-topic list, don't you? For the record, the openSUSE Off-Topic List's posting address is: openSUSE-OffTopic@openSUSE.org Unlike the other (open)SuSE lists, the off-topic list is not archived.

When I first started working for Wally World it was ALL about American jobs for American people. Sam was big on buying American made products as much as possible. He gave contracts to small AMERICAN companies that gave many several more years of production. In at least one case, that I know of personally, he pulled a small company from the doorstep of bankruptcy. A small clothing manufacturer was on the verge of losing everything when Sam heard about it and gave them a VERY lucrative contract. Kept their doors open for many years making clothing for Wally World. Kept many AMERICANS employed. There "used" to be a huge American flag over every service desk in every Wal Mart in existence. There was also a sign hanging there that told exactly how many American made products we carried. You saw very little of that Chinese yellow cardboard in the back room. It was almost all that good ol 'merican made brown cardboard. Sam was very proud to be an American. He was proud of the fact that he bought as much American made merchandise as was available, regardless of the fact that many times there were "cheaper" foreign made products. He was proud of the fact that he was helping to keep Americans in jobs. Sam was not a "capitalist" in the usual sense of the word. What he did was create a retail formula that is nearly impossible to keep from making money through some VERY shrewed buying and marketing. He lost something on the order of eleven million dollars in one day on the stock market. When asked about it he replied, "It's only on paper." The man was a genius. Take for instance the Ol' Roy dog food we sell. [ Malign it all you want, but it is Purina dog food. ] "We", the warehouse, buy it in HUGE quantities and Purina pays the shipping to the warehouse on Wal Mart trucks. The warehouse marks up the price and "sells" it to the stores. Purina pays the shipping from the warehouse to the store on Wal Mart trucks. "We", the store, mark it up and sell it to the consumer. It retails for about $11+/-. It has already had two (2) markups and two (2) shipping bills by the time it's sold. It's already made a profit, even if we gave it away at the store level. And, it's still about the cheapest priced dog food on the market. [ not cheap in quality, but cheap in price. ] Now! Sam is gone. The bean counters have taken over the company. N.A.F.T.A. is here, and all the "American" manufacturing companies have have fled for greener pastures outside our borders. Now there is no American manufacturing. It isn't Sam's fault that things have turned out as they have. I work for Wal Mart. Have for sixteen years. I am proud of what Sam stood for and built. The Wal Mart of today is NOT the company that Sam built. Sam IS spinning in his grave over the changes that have been made to HIS company. Sam cared about his people and his customers. Sam cared about American jobs for American people. The bean counters will drive the company under.

For the record, on the inexpensive side of things, the Canon LiDE-25 works great too with recent sane versions (out-of-the-box on 10.2).

The LiDE-20 and various older models such as the N676U and N650U have worked "out of the box" for the last several versions. I really like the CanoScan units, they make pretty good images on Linux, Mac and Windows ( I love non-OS-specific hardware :-) ) - JW -- ---------------------- jw@mailsw.com - System Administrator - Cedar Creek Software www.cedarcreeksoftware.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
