I've been using mine for many years now without problems under linux/sane and XP - it's well supported there if you have the proper driver, which is still available although AGFA has discontinued support for their scanners: http://www.agfa.com/digicam_scanner_drivers/scanner/snapscan_1212u/index.html You'll really need the firmware file, even under linux, which has to be loaded into the scanner's volatile memory every time it is switched on. So, if you don't have that, I can send it to you off list. Klaus
