Epson scanners seem to be the best supported. I bought an Epson Perfection 1240U awhile back, and I love it. It takes about 10 seconds to scan a full sheet of paper in full color. Other scanners that I've tried that with take well over a minute (cough, canon, cough). Absolutely zero problems making it work on my new system too. I just compiled Sane and Xsane, edited the epson config file under the sane directory to point to /dev/usb/scanner0, and loaded the scanner module with: modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x010b Those values come from /proc/bus/usb/devices. The Epson has sweet quality also, much better than Canon or HP of comparable resolution/price. Even on windows, the Epson really kicks the crap out of all other scanners I've tried (and we have a ton floating around at work). Jay -----Original Message----- From: Jon V.
