I have actually had the totally opposite result. I plug in any Cannon Lide scanner and it just works. Any HP stand alone scanner, and it just works. On Windows 7, I needed to buy software for the HP scanners, and could not get some of the Cannon scanners to work. Only found one scanner that would not work with Linux, a Microtik, and it was total junk. It was replaced on Windows with an HP and a paid driver... And if you buy hardware with no research, whatever the OS, you have a good chance of getting disappointing junk. (By the way... How does a scanner get "outdated?" I mean, aren't the features mostly set now?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 Title: Microsoft has a majority market share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/clubdistro/+bug/1/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
