Re: How to test an unsupported scanner (CanoScan LiDe 90)?
Hi! Seems that the CanoScan LiDe 90 is one of the scanners built by Canon that are not supported well. That's a reason to avoid them. :-) I had similar issues with a LiDE 45 (I think it was), and I did soon replace it with a SCSI scanner that worked out of the box without problems.

I love Canon for making things complicated exactly this way. Maybe this scanner is compatible to another driver, but that's only a guess. Maybe it's not compatible to anything that exists. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I could make the scanner react somehow I could ask people on sane-devel list for good ideas.
