I have a CanoScan LiDE 60. It is only a simple flat bed scanner, but does fulfil your 'works with ubuntu' requirement. I seem to remember going to the SANE website and looking for information on what is supported before buying it. http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html Have fun! -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
