I was looking into this matter as well this weekend. I was about to order, I am going for the epson 1240U. However, there are 2 version of this scanner with (1240U photo) and without photo (1240U). Does anyone know whether this specific photo stuff is supported by Linux? Op zondag 7 oktober 2001 15:44, schreef je:
Hi
Things are starting to point towards Epson...
What I have heard, is that Epson does give information also for printers of the protocol used etc, so that making drivers for Linux is easier.
This seems not to be the case with many other manufacturer.
As a result, I will support Epson in future, also in printers etc...
Thanx Cliff
Jaska.

Hi
Could someone recommend a scanner that is easy to install and works nicely under SuSE 7.2?
My spouse has Canon FP630C, that is not supported, and I want to buy a new one, that works and is easy to install, just to make her happy with Linux.
There is not SCSI-card, but USB is there, so I believe it should be USB...?
Jaska.
Maybe I can make your day :) I just bought an Epson Perfection 640U, USB scanner. So far it works just fine with the sane Epson device.
BUT! No guarantees expressed or implied. I run Suse 7.2 and kernel 2.4.10.
