Be sure you get a USB 2 scanner, as it will be much faster than USB 1. The USB 2 scanners are newer, so many of them aren't supported in Linux yet, but some are. Check http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html to see which models are supported. I'm currently using a Canon LiDE 60 with my Debian box. It works fine, is fast, and cost about $70 I believe. It's a flatbed, and is powered through the USB cable so you don't need a power brick-- a nice convenience IMO. The front panel buttons don't work, but it's no great loss. Earlier LiDE models have been supported by SANE for a long time, but support for the newer (USB 2) models is just coming on line. IIRC I had to uncomment # Canon LiDE 60 usb 0x04a9 0x221c in /etc/sane/genesys.conf in order for SANE to recognize mine; the line was there but commented out because support for that model is still brand-new. Good luck, Andrew. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
