What you really mean is "are there any decent scanners that have available Linux drivers". Am sure there are a fair number of decent scanners... Pick one you like, find the maker on the web, check for a driver or ask. Next see if there is a 3rd party driver.

Next see if there is a 3rd party driver. Probably for the old, good SCSI ones, but there probably were not a bunch of generic OEM "print engine" style makers out there that all conformed to the same hardware/comm layer standards. So you center around brand families that ever had Linux support. There are standards for the finished file, so at least that translation gets/got followed. Run it from within a windows emulator.

No what I ment is: 'Does anybody have a decent scanner working in Linux?' I got some good replies. I already did the research and came up with nothing I can buy new TODAY here that works, in the below 100 Euro price range. And that is still the case. However, regarding the problems with my canoscan 3000ex in win 98, I realised the math of it this morning: say windows is 600 MB (a CD) add some 100 applications of each 100 MB (their install CD), or basically a 40 GB disk full with MS related stuff, that makes 4 G x 8 bits. So, the chances of hitting the configuration where it all works (all bits right) is 1 / 32 G or less then 1 / atoms in the universe. So it cannot work:-) Now I can have peace with that :-) LOL > Am sure there are a fair number of decent scanners... > Pick one you like, find the maker on the web, check for a driver or >ask.
