Thank you for writing that.

You may have to spend 60 euros on a new scanner, but I believe we can get something to work for you. My three scanners are fifteen years old. All of them are supported by the SANE project. [1] Please send me a private email with a summary of your findings to date. (I faintly remember an earlier thread.) I scan all the time and will walk you through it. > I installed already GNUinOS, but since one year it is impossible to > update anything, I have not used GNUinOS, but in the regular distro universe—i.e. without the GNU Shepherd—avoiding systemd for philosophical reasons or because the principal author has a brisk personality will not make your life any easier. > so I got the advice from the Trisquel Forum to reinstall it. Trisquel is potentially a good choice for you, as long as your hardware does not require any proprietary firmware in order to function safely and reliably. Unfortunately, that is a painful subject and also off-limits for this list. In order to investigate your case, please also send me the output for $ lspci $ lsusb $ cat /proc/cpuinfo If you are not too queasy about privacy, you can also upload your hardware details to this service [2] or perhaps just send the output of 'hw-probe' [3] to me privately (probably without "--upload").
