I recommend you only buy a scanner that somebody else here can testify to that it actually runs smoothly. I bought a AGFA snapscan which is supposed to be supported by SANE, but although i had a lot of help here and nearly tried everything, the thing still won't run. The thing is I upgraded to mdk 9.1 because of it. At least I got a better OS out of the whole thing... Good luck!
