> look at what's supported for the SANE drivers in CVS <peeve>
I've been scanning the Techbargains feed for scanners for a few years now and, without exception, there are -no- current cheap-after-rebate scanners that appear on the SANE list. It's not that they've been tested & found wanting, they don't even appear on the list. I'd get an HP scanner, but HP's whoop-dee-doo HPLIP drivers are only for their scanner-printer-fax-copier units, not standalone scanners. I already have an HP7400C that "sorta" works with the Avision driver, which means it only runs off the end of the carriage once a week and wedges the entire system a few times a month... evidently there's something kaflooie that jams the kernel solidly enough to require a power-off reboot. No, I can't SSH in, it's dead. I would -looove- to get a good new scanner (ideally, with a transparency adapter), but the set of "works completely" scanners seems to not include anything that's actually available where I'm looking. Maybe I must just pay the "Linux tax" and buy something at full retail, eh? </peeve> -- Ed _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Oct 3 - Security and Privacy Nov 7 - Django Python Application Framework
