I've got an ecotank all in one. No, wait, I've got 2. I'm Linux only at home (other than adult children who should know better but at least they're using Mac and not windblows). Anyway, both work pretty well. One has a scan feeder for multiple pages scan, the other is flatbed only. Simple scan

All, I've switched my "daily driver" computer to Linux (Kubuntu 24.04) and have been able to get almost everything working since my transition from Win 10 a few weeks ago. However, I cannot get my old Plustek scanner to work at all. Since it's so old, I'm just going to get a new one. I'm lookin
