If you want a no fuss no muss set up, my Epson 1200U is automagically configured by scannerdrake (I guess it is) and works with xsane's front ends or gimp. It scans in some really quality images.

no, you will have to update the kernel,, not a big deal, there is a page on the mandrake site that details exactly how to do it, and it works because I did it not too long ago myself... you want to upgrade to 2.2.19 anyway, for security reasons.

I purchased LM 7.2 from the store and it has on there (according to my information) 2.2.17-21mdk version of the kernel. Would that work or do I have to get 2.2.19 or higher to operate it? If I have to get the other version of the kernel and I complile it, do I lose everything that I had here before? I don't want to lose my settings for the soundcard, video and everything else.
