I bought an HP Scanjet 2400 a while ago, obviously neglecting to check if it worked with Linux - which it doesn't (AFAICT). I would really like to get a new one, but one that works with Linux. The scanjet has two buttons on the front - copy & scan. Those would be really handy to have working too.
Any (affordable) recommendations? This canner isn't used a lot, only occasionally.
thanks Per
I have been using a CanoScan LiDE 20 flatbed scanner (http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000465.asp) for the past 5 years or so, without any sort of problems, last 1.5 years under Linux (openSUSE 11.1 & Ubuntu 9.04). Windows XP required the scan software mentioned at the link above as a mandatory interface via Adobe Acrobat (ver 6, which is what I mostly use in Windows). In Linux, have used this scanner with Skanlite, Xsane, gscan2pdf without any problems, it having been auto-detected. Performance has also been as good as with the native interface in Windows. An added advantage is that it just needs to be plugged into a USB port (no additional power input needed). A great scanner for general use.
