[newbie] CanoScan LiDE 50??

2004-05-13 Thread Richard McCormick
Hi,

I just got Mandrake 10 and boy is it much better, the best yet but there is
one problem and I was wondering if there is a way to configure my CanoScan
LiDE 50 to work under XSane??  I actually found the scanner listed and when
I selected it I got a message that this scanner is not supported by this
version of Mandrake Linux.  HUH??  It's listed but it's not supported??

That seems strange to me.

Any help here??

Many thanks

Richard ;-)~

the canon lide series includes models 20, 30, 50 and 80.  the lide20 and 
lide30 are supported, wheras the lide50 and lide80 are not as they are based 
on a different chipset.  the lide20 and lide30 are based on the National 
Semiconductor LM9831/2 chipset for which a driver called the plustek driver 
has been written.
