EPSON
GT-5500
EPSON
GT-7000
EPSON
Perfection 1640 SU
EPSON
Perfection 1650 photo
but the Epson website says these below are suported on mandrake 8.1. atm i
am on scanner number 2 and going onto scanner3 in the search of a supported
scanner.
This scanner is the 1250 ,according to the guy in the pc shop its the same
drivers as the 1240 (obviously not) . i think i might find it easier to get
a 1240 rather than any of the others so i was wondering if anyone out there
was using a 1240 on mandrake 8.1 ..
Perfection 1240U
Perfection 1640SU
Perfection 1650/ Perfection 1650 Photo
Perfection 2450 Photo
Expression 1600
Expression 1680
Expression 1640XL

While I don't know much about scanners, I did stay at a Holiday Inn last
night, so here goes...
I took look at www.yolinux.com (an excellent source of linux information
BTW). Their tutorial on linux scanning that a link to
(www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/). This is the guy that writes
the sane backends for Epson scanners, and he says that the 1250 is not and
probably never will be supported, but that the 1240 is OK.
