This is not always the case, I had a Dell printer using an RPM that would not install properly. It was placing files in places where Gentoo did not expect to see them. I unpacked it and installed it manually and got it working. The easiest way to install it is to see if there's an ebuild available in an overlay. Scanners can be picky in linux. I bought a Canon flatbad knowing it had support in linux. A newer model of the same line of scanner that I have is *not* supported properly in linux. To give you an idea. Dan
