[sane-devel] canon Lide 30
Hi all, this scanner is not on the SANE supported hardware list even though a Google search shows lots of people reporting this as working with SANE. There is no additional info on the back-end site either. Does anyone know whether this H/W will work properly? I can only get it second hand, so there's no return policy. It would be a shame to try it, only to find it doesn't work. Dennis

I was looking in the wrong place! even though a Google search shows lots of people reporting this as working with SANE. At least I got that part right... There is no additional info on the back-end site either. Yes there is, it's the plustek back-end which has a nice hardware compatibility list on the man page. Does anyone know whether this H/W will work properly? I can only get it second hand, so there's no return policy. It would be a shame to try it, only to find it doesn't work. I'm gonna give the owner a call. Wish me luck. Judging from the above, I'll need it :-( Dennis
[sane-devel] Which scanner for Linux
Hi all, I tried an Epson perfection V350 Photo last week, but it is only partially supported and the driver requires a closed source library. I returned it for a refund. I've checked the sane list of supported units, but I can't see the forest for the trees. Also, lots of web sites appear to carry outdated reccommendations as far as scanning is concerned. Types that are no longer available in shops and such. Can anyone please recommend a scanner that answers to the following criteria, in descending order of importance: - less than +/-160 EUR ($200) - no closed-source bits needed for basic operation. - 4800 optical dpi max, in full-color. - A4 (letter) size flatbed. - decent for occasional transparency and film scans. - not a 'multifunctional' - in (web) shops now Thanks, Dennis
