Does anyone have a suggestion for a parallel port flatbed scanner that is
under $150 and will work with Linux?
Do any of the scanners listed in PC World's "top ten" scanners work on
Linux.
Very frustrated.
Thanks.

Jeff, it is my understanding that none of the parallel scanners work
with Linux. Frankly, I can't imagine buying one these days since USB
scanners are more common.

Can't you buy a USB card? I thought that was possible. If so, it
might be a cheap way to be able to buy a Linux-compatible scanner.
That's pretty

Can you define "MUCH BETTER"? Do you mean the transfer rate is faster
or that they work better with Linux for some reason? If the former,
in my experience this hardly matters.

Just a thought, but why not get a SCSI scanner? I just bought one
on eBay that is like new for $61 including shipping. If you don't
have a SCSI card, you can get one of those too. I would think you
could get both scanner and card for under $150, and SCSI tends to
work better than parallel and
