The LiDE-20 and various older models such as the N676U and N650U have worked 
out of the box for the last several versions. I really like the CanoScan 
units, they make pretty good images on Linux, Mac and Windows ( I love

 You will still need to setup the saned portion if you want network
 scanning.

Do you mean YaST scanner setup - Other - Scanning via Network
or did you try it but it didn't work for you?

Reading the sane device list, there are many scanners that are supported, but

 It's WIN-WIN!!
 
 
 RRS

When I first started working for Wally World it was ALL about American
jobs for American people. Sam was big on buying American made products
as much as possible. He gave contracts to small AMERICAN companies that
gave many several more years of production. In at least one case, that I
know of personally, he pulled a small company from the doorstep of
bankruptcy. A small clothing manufacturer was on the verge of losing
everything when Sam heard about it and gave them a VERY lucrative
contract. Kept their doors open for many years making clothing for Wally
World. Kept many AMERICANS employed.

There used to be a huge American flag over every service desk in every
Wal Mart in existence. There was also a sign hanging there that told
exactly how many American made products we carried. You saw very little
of that Chinese yellow cardboard in the back room. It was almost all
that good ol 'merican made brown cardboard. Sam was very proud to be an
American. He was proud of the fact that he bought as much American made
merchandise as was available, regardless of the fact that many times
there were cheaper foreign made products. He was proud of the fact
that he was helping to keep Americans in jobs.

Sam was not a capitalist in the usual sense of the word. What he did
was create a retail formula that is nearly impossible to keep from
making money through some VERY shrewed buying and marketing. He lost
something on the order of eleven million dollars in one day on the stock
market. When asked about it he replied, It's only on paper.

The man was a genius. Take for instance the Ol' Roy dog food we sell. [
Malign it all you want, but it is Purina dog food. ] We, the
warehouse, buy it in HUGE quantities and Purina pays the shipping to the
warehouse on Wal Mart trucks. The warehouse marks up the price and
sells it to the stores. Purina pays the shipping from the warehouse to
the store on Wal Mart trucks. We, the store, mark it up and sell it to
the consumer. It retails for about $11+/-. It has already had two (2)
markups and two (2) shipping bills by the time it's sold. It's already
made a profit, even if we gave it away at the store level. And, it's
still about the cheapest priced dog food on the market. [ not cheap in
quality, but cheap in price. ]

Now! Sam is gone. The bean counters have taken over the company.
N.A.F.T.A. is here, and all the American manufacturing companies have
have fled for greener pastures outside our borders. Now there is no
American manufacturing. It isn't Sam's fault that things have turned out
as they have.

I work for Wal Mart. Have for sixteen years. I am proud of what Sam
stood for and built. The Wal Mart of today is NOT the company that Sam
built. Sam IS spinning in his grave over the changes that have been made
to HIS company. Sam cared about his people and his customers. Sam cared
about American jobs for American people.

The bean counters will drive the company under.

OK, I'll stop ranting.

Any suggestions for an USB 2.0 scanner for Linux?


I do not know about single function flatbeds, but we have an Epson
CX6600 PSC that is greatly supported.  Opensuse 10.2 with the
iscan-free packages configures it out of the box.

You will still need to setup the saned portion if you want network
scanning.  Works great though.

Re: [opensuse] Scanner for Linux

2007-03-16 Thread Teruel de Campo MD
Livio,

I have been looking for an scanner for almost a month. My first approach
was to print a list of the scanners supported by sane. Well most of them
are old and discontinue models with very few exceptions. Furthermore
more and more companies are trying to get into the linux business and
are producing proprietary drivers (which is great). Well here few points
that may help you.

1. Epson has always been seen as a linux friendly. Besides they produce
high quality scanners. Some of the newer scanner are supported by sane
and all of them are supported by their proprietary drivers. To be on the
safe side I choose the Epson 4990 Photo. This is a very high quality
scanner only surpass by the V-700. The 4990 is both supported under sane
and also with its own drivers. For me this was the most important
factor. I plug it and its working great under sane. Eventually I will
see how it does with the Epson drivers. The other Epsons like the less
expensive 4490 and the more expensive V-700 are not supported by sane
only by the Epson drivers. BTW xsane and Kooka both scanner application
installed in SuSE 10.2 work great. These are the steps: I plug the
scanner. A windows came saying new hardware if I wanted to configure. I
say yes and it was all done. I love it.

2. You will find all-in-one and only scanners. The all-in-one scanning
is of less quality. Interestingly in the case of HP they are supported
by sane but the only HP newer scanners are not and they do not have
drivers. So if you want HP go with all-in-one or be sure you have
drivers.

3. I found that Epson, HP and Brother seems to be committed to linux.
All have some linux support. I was very impressed by a Brother
all-in-one duplex printer, duplex fax and duplex scanner (ADF) with
wireless and wired network connection (MFC 8860DN and the wireless ??).
I saw some thread saying that it works very well all the features under
linux. In my case I do have xerox duplex color printer so I did not need
it.

4. Here are few important links:

http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/index.html

http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html

http://hp-linux.cern.ch/support/devscanner.php3

http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html

5. The Epson 4990 photo is a little pricy when you compare with other
scanners but the quality and features are great. I am glad I went for
it. 

http://www.kenrockwell.com/epson/4990.htm

http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%204990/Page%204.htm

I scanned old photographs and also a bunch of slides to include in my
Impress presentation and everything went perfect. Of course I do not
need a huge resolution for this type of scanning.  

Besides the use as a scanner in my case I am going to eliminate the fax
line and the fax machine. Now with the modem-fax pci and the scanner I
do not need the rest. Xsane application was great to produce and send
the fax. 

In summary I am very happy with it.

HTH

Hi all,

Any suggestions for an USB 2.0 scanner for Linux?




I use an HP PSC 1315 from Sam's Club. Works like a dream on 9.2, 10.0 and  
10.2.  I think it cost $72.00.

What? Death changed him from being a capitalist? Into what? I can't 
imagine that he'd care about sending so much of America's money (that 
of the lower classes, anyway) to wage slaves in China.

It's WIN-WIN!!

I see you've been there too. Makes for uncrowded shopping.

Why don't we leave the politics and slams to the off-topic list where
it is on topic?

Why, indeed?

And slam? What slam? Facts are facts.

In my experience, pretty much anything I've plugged into my systems have 
worked. I'm not talking about the high end Kodak i860 or anything of that 
nature, but I've got one system with an Epson all-in-one, another with a 
Fujitsu 4120c, and another with a QMax scanner.

Check what you want then check here:

Linuxprinting.org - which is now apparently openprinting.org - used to have a 
generic list.
