I have a HP 4200Cse flatbed scanner. I'll check with HP to see if they are developing any drivers for Unix or Linux Daniel Honzik --- Johannes Erdfelt <jerdfelt@suse.com> wrote:

Does Linux support USB? If not, will future kernel support this feature? I have a USB scanner that maybe one day would like to use on Linux

SuSE doesn't currently support USB, however, SuSE is sponsoring USB development. The current Linux development kernel 2.3.12 has a working USB stack that can currently use Hubs, Keyboard, Mice, Printers and preliminary support for Speakers, Modems, Floppies, CD-Roms, and one brand of Web Cam.

A working USB system with support for most major devices is expected to be available by the time Linux 2.4 is released.

As for scanners, that may be a different thing. Most USB Scanners are proprietary and require lots of vendor cooperation. This may cause some problems for support. What kind of scanner do you have?
