Hi Steve,
<BR>
<P>If memory serves me, the SuSe USB backport is based on very old USB code.
<BR>
You can retreive later backports from <A HREF="http://www.linux-usb.org">http://www.linux-usb.org</A>.
<BR>
<P>Although several scanners, 40+, are recognized by the USB scanner driver,
<BR>
*most-not all* HP's, Epson, Agfa and soon Acer are known to work via USB
<BR>
and SANE. Some info/news can be gathered from
<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/linux/usb">http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/linux/usb</A>.
<BR>
<P>At the soon to be released version of the driver (0.4.2) there seems to be
<BR>
a performance issue and this is in the queue for me to investigate.
<BR>
Otherwise, some stats that I got before things slowed down are:
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;* Performance:
<BR>
&nbsp;*
<BR>
&nbsp;* System: Pentium 120, 80 MB RAM, OHCI, Linux 2.3.23, HP 4100C USB
<BR>
Scanner
<BR>
&nbsp;* 300 dpi scan of the entire bed
<BR>
&nbsp;* 24 Bit Color ~ 70 secs - 3.6 Mbit/sec
<BR>
&nbsp;* 8 Bit Gray ~ 17 secs - 4.2 Mbit/sec
<BR>
<P>Hmmm, I thought I had some performance numbers documented in the
<BR>
scanner*.txt files comparing w98 and linux but I can't seem to find
<BR>
those...sigh. Anyways, 8 bit scans performed equally well, linux
<BR>
outperformed w98 on 24 bit scans, though.
<BR>
<P>Pictures using an HP-4100 in conjunction with gimp and SANE using Linux
<BR>
can be viewed at <A HREF="http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/travels">http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/travels</A>. Scans from an
<BR>
HP-5200 were outstanding in comparison with the 4100 (as is the price for
<BR>
the 5200 ;).
<BR>
<P>Regards,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/\/elson

<P><EM>&gt; Hi everyone
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Am trying desperately to come to terms with SANE, kernels and modules.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; As I see it I have the choice between a SCSI scanner and a USB one for
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Linux. The latter seem freely available whilst the former have to be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ordered through a specialist dealer (here in Spain at least). Does
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; SANE recognise both in the same way or is the way that they are set up
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; different? Apparently, my kernel (SuSE 6.3 from the box) has support
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; for USB backported from the 2.3 kernel. Does this mean that I can plug
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; in a supported USB scanner and have SANE recognise it as a device?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Any help however small much appreciated.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; THanks from Steve at FeF, Spain.
