After a long while of doing without, I may suddenly need a good scanner for a collection of documents. I would like to find something with the following characteristics, if anyone has tried a model that fits the bill.
a) Linux and SANE compatibility exists today. Limited feature support OK. b) ADF (or ADF option) that has good paper-feed reliability c) USB (2.0/highspeed) or Firewire interface d) I really only care about fast b/w and greyscale 300dpi scanning through the ADF, controlled by the command-line interface. Other scanning concerns are very minimal, I could use a more common scanner for that. Hoping for something in the $400-$800 range (new, including ADF), depending on how fast it is for this type of scanning. I'd also be interested in SANE-ready models with very high scanning speeds that happen to cost a bit more ($1000-$2000). I really wish the HP 5550c had SANE compatibility, that model seems perfect otherwise. Thanks if anyone has any recommendations. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
