<BR>
<EM>&gt; Be very careful with USB scanners. They not only have to be supported
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; by the USB sub system (which as far as I remember was a problem with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the USB drivers from SuSE 6.3), in addion to this SANE has to provide
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; support for the particular scanner as well.
</EM><BR>
<P>Take a look at the following page
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A HREF="http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html">http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners-usb.html</A>
<BR>
<P>At this point in time the best supported USB scanners are Epson and
<BR>
HP ones. Be careful with HP scanners though as some such as the 4200C
<BR>
do not yet work although a drivers are in development.
<BR>
<P>That said if you can put up with firmware uploads and a bit of messy
<BR>
patching you could get an Afga Snapscan 1212U or an AcerScan 620U.
<BR>
<P>In the long run it looks like USB scanners will be well supported under
<BR>
Linux. This is however down to National Semiconductor providing the
<BR>
information on there USB-scanner-on-a-chip silicon and not the scanner
<BR>
manufactures. Apparently they are predicting that 90% of low end scanners
<BR>
will use these chips.
<BR>
<P>JAB.
