I read the thread "CanoScan LiDE 25" that finished on Mon Jul 18 06:24:08 UTC 2005.
I've just bought one of these and found I couldn't get it to work under SuSE 9.2 (though I saw a review of MandrakeMove that seemed to indicate it worked with no special effort there). I have the scanner working okay under MacOS X, so although I can't easily run Windows to snoop any useful info for you, if you can point me at a tool I can use under MacOS X to gather any info for you, I'd be happy to try (and to try any Linux experiments). My experince under SuSE was similar to the poster - scanimage -L reported no supported devices, but sane-find-scanner sees it and gets the manufacturer and model info correct. luke
