<i>&gt; Hi,</i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; I realize that this is not strictly related to SANE development, but I'm</i><br>
<i>&gt; looking for a low- to mid-range flatbed scanner for a SOHO environment. I</i><br>
<i>&gt; want to attach the scanner to a Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.6, and I want to</i><br>
<i>&gt; use SANE drivers for it. Does anybody have recommendations on scanners</i><br>
<i>&gt; that they particularly like? </i><br>
<i>&gt; </i><br>
<p>
I developed the sane solaris support with a HP scanner. These are good<br>
quality and have a good SCSI implementation.<br>
Some scanners use user-sepcific commands in a way the solaris kernel<br>
does not expect. This logs annoying error messages during a scan (e.g.<br>
UMAX), some elder scanners (Microtek Scanmaker III) did not work at all.<br>
(I say 'did', because the backend has been changed meanwhile, leaving out<br>
the "mode_sense_1" command. I don't know if it works now).<br>
A Mustek Paragon 1200SP brings with sane-0.72 horizontal coloured lines<br>
in color scans.<br>
More I don't know.<br>
