Hi, I got myself the Perfection V-100 for 109 Euro 2 weeks ago. It is very slimline and works well. Epson drivers installed and it worked like a charm. I also have the Epson C1100 ColourPrinter, also drivers from http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html Almost all Epson scanners work. There is a list, not totally up to date at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html :-) Al -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
