The last time I got a new scanner I spent about a week correlating the lists of scanners actually available for purchase with the list of supported devices on the sane web pages (99.999% of which are models that are out of production :-). Has anyone recently purchased a flatbed scanner with good linux support? (I mostly want it for documents and such, not photo or negative scanning). The Canoscan LIDE 60 I wound up with at the end of the first painful search has apparently died the real death. It doesn't show up as a USB device at all. If it had a fuse, I'd say it had blown it :-). Naturally they are up to LIDE 90 now (60 no longer made), and the 90 isn't supported in sane.
I am working on a project where I wanted the imaging element out of a scanner. But not knowing which one, I bought two scanners off of people on craigslist. Both worked without me doing anything with Fedora.
Just look here first: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html It doesn't look good for the Canoscan LIDE 90 http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html#Z-CANON ed -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
