It shouldn't for just reversal of intensity, however you *may* need a
driver to turn on any backlights for scanning transparencies.

Every time I've ever done a search, I've found scanners
divided into two totally separate categories:

1. Scanners supported by sane.
2. Scanners currently being sold.

:-).

I currently run a multi-function epson with a wifi
interface, and when I need to scan something I start
my windows virtual machine and scan from there.

Brother DCP-7055W here (low-cost multifunction scanner/printer with
Wifi). Using the driver available on the Brother site, it works
perfectly under Fedora.

I have had success with most flat bed USB scanners from thrift stores.
Usually a $5 gamble.

I use a Brother MFC-9840CDW multifunction at the office. Works fine
with Brother's driver and XSane over the network on Fedora 22 (haven't
gone to F23 yet). Last time I used my Canon lIDE, it worked fine as
well under XSane, but that was a while ago.

Most Fujitsu scanners are directly supported in SANE. I have it on good  
authority that Fujitsu actively supports the SANE project, and often  
supplies new hardware in advance, so that support can be developed in  
advance of general availability.


Fujitsu scanners are a bit pricier that the competition, though. The  
cheapest full-sized scanner I see on Amazon is the iX500 at four hundred  
bucks, and, yup, it's listed on http://www.sane-project.org/sane- 
backends.html with "Good" support.

As does the Brother 7065DN that we have here.

Also, my Canon Lide 210 works nicely too without hassle.

Well, every multi-function HP machine we bought (a sample of two)
works well scanning with sane.  We currently have an HP Envy 4504,
bought for a low price, scans well, though not fast.

Now negatives, not so sure; does that require software to process the
scan?  I do not have experience with that.

Yikes.

I went looking to see if A3 scanner were affordable.  You need to be
sitting down for their pricetag.
