One thing? I have learned in the almost two years that I have tinkered in Linux is: Waste paper, not money!! PRINT the 'LIST' for whatever device you are thinking about buying and take it with you to the store!!! I think That IF we all looked up, and printed the 'list', we would save a lot of headaches. (failed to take my own advice a couple times)!!! In this case, 46 pages off the SANE page. Just think of the impact!! Manufacturers would go broke as the Linux users got wise to their crap/lack of unix drivers!!! Hehehe, just joking about the going broke. --- Lee Einer wrote: > > > ec wrote: > > >In reality, very few scanners seem to work with the > >exception of one brand.
