I don't know about PPort scanners, but here's what I've<br>
|
|
learned with my microtek scanners (www.microteck.com, the E3 is a<br>
|
|
good SCSI flatbed scanner, which I've been running under WinNT<br>
|
|
for 6-8 months without any problems. It's around $150 now.)<br>
|
|
It comes with the Adaptec 1502 SCSI-1 Card. The card is slow,<br>
|
|
very dumb (it can't be autoprobed), short, ugly, and I once<br>
|
|
saw one with a fried SMD. HAving said all that, it does work<br>
|
|
rather well. :)<br>
|
|
I haven't gotten around to configuring the E3, but I've<br>
|
|
been using the Microtek 35t+ slide scanner with xscanner (&GIMP).<br>
|
|
There are still bugs in the driver (like the exposure control<br>
|
|
doesn't work.) I'm planning on trying ViviData's scanshop for<br>
|
|
linux ($49 at www.vividata.com) to see if it's any better.<br>
|
|
[Sorry to jump the SANE ship, but being a photographer, I need<br>
|
|
good scanner support, and I need it now.]<br>
|
|
Getting back to the installation, once I figured out<br>
|
|
how to get the 1502 card to work (I can dig up the URL with<br>
|
|
the instructions if anyone is interested. Thanks to ??? on<br>
|
|
the SANE-DEVEL list for passing that on to me.), I edited<br>
|
|
/etc/sane/microtek.conf, adding "scsi Microtek" and the 35t+<br>
|
|
showed up the next time I opened xscanimage. (For some reason,<br>
|
|
the E3 doesn't identify itself as a microtek scanner when it's<br>
|
|
probed, just "scanner".)<br>
|
|
I scanned the image, saved it, opened it in GIMP<br>
|
|
and printed it out. It seemed to work fine. (You can also<br>
|
|
scan directly into GIMP.)<br>
|
|
I hope some of this rambling has helped, I'm away<br>
|
|
from my home PC right now, so I may have messed up a detail<br>
|
|
or two. C'est l'vive!<br>
