I am using Cannon Lide20 for the last one year or a bit more. It is working fine on both SuSE9.2 and FC3. This is a very low end scanner though. Highest dpi is 1200. Though the OCR thing is not very well till in FLOSS. It is improving fast. Sayamindu told me of a good OCR that works on GNU R. Must be something for the geeks, as it sounds. -- dipankar das -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
