Thanks for your good news :-) I'm not in a network: I will dedicate an old linux pc to gt-2500. > If you are using iscan you can handle the button (in Xsane it doesn't > work) Perfect. >> 3- I'd like to use the sane command line.

I care about one single sheet job (with or without ADF); here it is the most common case. Our needs are: - A4 planed (ADF probably will be used, but it is not necessary) - very fast B/W single shoot scan in medium/low quality (300dpi?) for office documents - Sane compatibility. I think/hope GT-2500 can work fine for us :-) Other scanners don't give us these certainties (productors sites informations are so poor..) > > Wolfram Heider Thanks very much for your informations Alessandro -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
