two possible choices: 1. http://www.lychnis.net/wiki/HP3500C "There is a working demo program for the HP ScanJet 3500C, HP ScanJet 3530C and HP ScanJet 3570C: [WWW] http://projects.troy.rollo.name/rt-scanners/rtdemo-1.0.tar.bz2. This demo can scan images at resolutions of 1200, 600, 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25 DPI (although 1200 and 400 still have some issues with calibration), in full colour mode, and store the results in a PNM format image file. 2. A commercial program called vuescan. from http://www.hamrick.com/ It doesn't list the 3500 amongst it's supported scanners, but you can download a trial to check it out. I used it a couple of years ago for a scanner that wasn't supported by SANE and it's good. -- ______ Paul 5B8BA
