I'm looking to buy a scanner and was thinking about getting an Epson Perfection 2400 USB scanner. It is listed as having "complete" SANE support, but it is not listed as being supported in the uscanner(4) man page.
According to a page (http://khk.net/sane/usb_scanner.html) on the SANE Epson back-end Web site, the vendor and product id for the Epson Perfection 2400 are 0x04b8 and 0x011b respectively. I looked in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on the system on which I'll probably use the scanner (running FreeBSD 6-CURRENT) and I noticed there is indeed an entry with the same product id, but it is identified as "GT-9300UF scanner". The entry in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on my NetBSD/alpha system actually identifies 0x011b as "Perfection 2400 scanner." So, is the Epson GT-9300UF just an alternative market name (Japan, perhaps?) for the Epson Perfection 2400? (Though the "UF" suffix would indicate it has both USB and FireWire interfaces.) Is anyone successfully using an Epson Perfection 2400 USB scanner under either FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE or FreeBSD 6-CURRENT? (Does it work reliably? Would you recommend this scanner?) If anyone has any general recommendation for a cheap scanner that works well under FreeBSD, I'd be glad to hear it. Cheers, Paul. -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid." --- Frank Vincent Zappa _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
