Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. Since USB is the scanners "standard" interface, I noted more and more "bad" scanners: bad/weak GUI (for example the GUI coming with some EPSON Perfection scanners is the worst I ever used), bad performance, cheap/buggy hardware. The Canon LIDE 30 is not the best scanner available around, but it's just a "decent" scanner for 69 Euros... and is supported by SANE. I also own an old Agfa SnapScan 600 SCSI, and it's another world. BTW, as always, your pages are really interesting. Marc
